Building the transhumanist temple

Cory Doctorow 1:16 pm Thu Dec 12, 2002

Timeship: a grandiose project to build an extropian temple of life-preservation and transhumanism.

The design of the Timeship Building, a six-acre structure that will be the world's largest facility for life extension research and for the cryopreservation of DNA, biological tissues, and over 10,000 human patients, has been completed by architect Stephen Valentine with both its functional and its symbolic importance in mind.

We see the Timeship as the "Fort Knox" of biological materials. DNA, tissue samples and cryopreserved patients will be housed in Timeship, and their safety and security against all threats, both natural and human-made, will have to be maintained for hundreds of years. Timeship has been designed to provide that security at every level, from defense against terrorist attack, to sea level changes due to global warming, to interruption of energy supplies due to any catastrophe.
