Abstract Jonathan Schwinge anticipates habitation spheres, manufactured like ships from vast modular subassemblies. Floated from covered yards on pontoons, they are airlifted for segmental delivery anywhere in the world by fleets of high‐capacity freight airships from the leading civilian and military logistics companies. A new market, perhaps, for old shipyards, like Pallion shipyard in Jonathan's family home town of Sunderland.
