-------------------------
A bit eccentric, perhaps.
I wanted a similar style to this other one I made a few weeks ago, like if it was another place in the same world and time:
Well, in fact, I used this same color scheme in several images in the last few months... Here are some examples:
I built the structure in SketchUp, rendered it in Vue. My biggest problem here was deciding when to stop building it because I just wanted to go on and on and on...
EDIT:
Several people commented on how dangerous this can be. Well, fear not because those orange stripes are in fact a force-field generator, automatically activated when someone, equipped with a "Kinetic Bracelet", enters their area of influence. The force field will automatic cancel the kinetic and potential energies of your moving body if, for example, you happen to slip and fall. Therefore, you will effectively stop your fall and start floating above the stripe. The "Kinetic Bracelet" will then call your "Hover Vehicle" to the proximity and you will be able to jump on board and select your next destination.
The "Kinetic Bracelet" has an "adventure" mode which you can activate and will cancel the effect of the orange stripes. This way you can dive between levels at will. Do it at your own risk. The insurance will not cover accidents if this mode is activated.
The "Kinetic Bracelet" has an "extreme" mode which will randomly change the effect of the force field. For example, it can increase your kinetic energy and decrease your potential energy, thereby allowing to make huge jumps effortlessly. It's also extremely dangerous... and, of course, the insurance will not cover any accident.
Warning: not all areas are equipped with orange stripes. The "Kinetic Bracelet" will not let you move in these areas unless you set it to "adventure" mode.

I see a danger in slipping of the edge. Wonderful design and all, but would never pass public safety laws.

Ahh, good to know.
Now only to invent kinetic barrier and we can build this for real

Yes. The Enterprise starship, from Star Trek, must have something similar already because when they accelerate or brake we see that no one is pushed forward or back, like you'd feel in a car or plane. Their bodies don't feel these changes there. So, they must have a way to create a field that somehow cancels the inertia/kinetic energy. Let's wait a few more centuries.

OMG! i want this pool! Such an awesome concept! i love the fluidity of the path the pool takes. Kinda reminds me of a celtic knot. Don't know where it starts or stops. Very cool!

ArthurBlue In reply to Shanghi8 [2013-05-21 19:46:04 +0000 UTC]
Thanks!
Celtic knot, that's an interesting comparison! Not having a clear start and finish was one of my goals.

You can just use the "Kinetic Bracelet" - see the note I added.

Wow! I so want to go swimming there! And maybe you can jump from the pools' system down into that river/lake in the background

That could be dangerous but, yes, it would be fun.

What if my kinetic bracelet malfunctions? Technology is risky!

ArthurBlue In reply to madfox43 [2013-05-22 08:15:48 +0000 UTC]
Yes, it is. What if the plane you're travelling in malfunctions and it falls? What if your car fails and you go straight against a big truck? What if your microwave explodes right when you're about to take your pizza from it?
Technology can fail everywhere and at everytime, the technology I imagine is no different.

Wow, you have thought that through.
By the way, a good thing is, that if you want, you can swim on the sun. But there are also shadowy areas for those who like it a little bit cooler.
Another thought - it would be awesome if some parts of the basin would have transparent base (maybe even sides). It would look like your are swimming in the air.

Oh, I wish I'd thought of the transparent material! Brilliant idea! Thanks.
