#Maldives
Hello, friends! Today I'm sharing a project about a "floating city" in the Maldives 🏡 This is Waterstudio's architectural response to the issue of rising global sea levels.
According to the designers, all 5000 low-rise houses will be located on floating hexagonal structures that will rise with the sea 🌊 The buildings' foundations are modeled after the geometric shapes of local coral, and to encourage the natural growth of this ecosystem, architects will place coral reefs at the bottom of the structures.
The architects propose to build the project in a lagoon in the Indian Ocean, not far from the capital of the island nation.The team hopes that around 20,000 residents will be able to move to the floating city by 2024, with the full completion of the project planned for 2027.
Let me know in the comments, would you like to live in such a house?
thanks for 🔥
