This is the main power generator for Rapture, run on geo-thermal heat from the volcanic activity beneath the ocean floor.





Arcadia

This is the main source of oxygen for the city, and vacation home for the residents of Rapture.

 Olympus Heights
This is the main residency building for all the high class and wealthier citizens of Rapture.


 Medical Pavillion
This building is where you would go for medical emergencies, but ever since Rapture discovered the plasmid, it has been primarily used for facial reconstruction surgery due to side effects.

Tourism Ideas

 My idea for a tourism spot is the fictional underwater metropolis called Rapture, which is featured in the hit video-games, Bioshock I & II. Tourist attractions would be the freedom to practice any experiments without moral restrictions and the sights of the underwater. Main attractions would be the Rapture Metro, which transports citizens around the city via bathyspheres and underwater vessels. Monuments I would choose the Rapture tower, which towers over the North-Atlantic ocean, marking the location of this fine city.


Things that attract me to this tourist destination is the dark imagery and mysterious nature of the buildings, which inspires a sense of wonder to the viewer, making them want to know more about this underwater world.
