2012 - B.I.B.L.E

This is an animation of a final project on the MA Industrial Design, at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design.

The historical backdrop to the consept B.I.B.L.E
(Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth)

2008:
For several decades, NASA had kept a secret that the 10th planet in our solar system; Niburi, was heading towards
the earth. After 3600 years of absence from the Milky Way, it would return in 2012 with catastrophic results for us humans.

2012:
Niburi nearly collides with the earth as it passes by, with huge affects on our magnetic field. The planet stops rotating for four days. When it starts rotating again on the fifth day, earthquakes, tsunamis, fires and other catastrophes have extinguished 2/3rds of the worlds
population. The survivors were faced with the difficult challenge of rebuilding a way of life in a sustainable community (Ecotopia). It would take 100 years to construct such an environmentally friendly lifestyle based on the principles of recycling and alternative energy.
The jewellery that collects memory, and a temple would be vital in the process of gathering and archiving the humans consciousness from this time on and forward.
