Project Global: Ground

This exploration of our current day metropolitan condition as a system of systems deals with the crust of the Earth as a primary carrying capacitor of human activities, from the extraction of resources deep within the ground, to agricultural operations that barely scratch the surface.

ASHES Base Lenasia

Central Command & Control

The more the world c The ASHES Base Lenasia is not only an airbase, but also the hub of all ASHES operations worldwide. The bulk of assets are stored and maintained here. Potential clients are flown-in and given a tour of the facilities and assets. The runway can accomodate the take-off and landing requirements for the largest of planes, and the aprons can support hundreds of parked aircraft.
The subterranean nature of much of the base facilities means that ASHES can keep much of its operations hidden away from multiple forms of surveillance, as well as minimize its visual profile within the surrounding context.
