The Venus Project


Hello and welcome to my website! I choose this as my final project because I found it really interesting and a cool idea in general. My Term Paper is link to this page, feel free to download it and read it.

So what is the Venus Project?

Well The Venus Project is a social sustainability advocacy organization started by structural engineer, industrial designer, and futurist Jacque Fresco, with the aim of improving society through the worldwide utilization of a theoretical design that it calls a "resource-based economy". The model aims to incorporate sustainable cities and values, energy efficiency, collective farms, natural resource management and advanced automation into a global socio-economic system based on social cooperation and scientific methodology.

The name is derived from Venus, Florida, where the project's research center is currently located. Within the center are ten buildings, designed by Fresco, which showcase the architecture of the project. Future by Design, a film about the life and work of Jacque Fresco, was produced in 2006.

I also have a video that explains it im more depth.
