Terminus Terminus is where psychohistorian ari Seldon conducts his research, predicting the fall of the Empire to the dismay of its rulers. The production used Iceland for big exteriors and some small construction builds, but we built Terminus City in the Canary Islands. The great thing about the anaries is that they hae so many different types of environments, from deserts to jungles. We found a valley where we could situate one character's house on a hilltop, and another area where we could place the vault in proximity to Terminus City. We built a town center that was approximately seventy thousand square feet. Most of the sets were prefabricated in Ireland, then shipped in containers to the Canaries. This was just one step in the design process. It was a long journey that took me to Iceland, Ireland, Germany, Malta and Spain. Working in all these countries, with different people and different outlooks, was a great tool to develop a rich-layered design for the show. Foundation was built around the world, by many amaing people. E. HARI'S STUDY ON TRANTOR. ILLUSTRATION BY MARC BITZ BASED ON BERLIN LOCATION. F. HARI'S STUDY ON TRANTOR. PRODUCTION STILL. G.
