South Korea plans to host worldโ€™s first floating city by 2025

South Korea plans to host worldโ€™s first floating city by 2025

A UN-backed project to develop a floating city has been proposed for the seas off Busan in South Korea to pioneer a new mode of living amid climate-related sea-level rises. Dec 2021 Last week, the city governmentย signed an agreementย with Oceanix, a company founded by Danish architect Bjarke Ingels Group, and UN-Habitat. The plan is to build a city made from hexagonal modules that would be stable enough to resist a category five hurricane. The aim is to have the first platforms in the water by 2025,ย reportsย Business Insider. Although the size of the cityโ€™s first iteration has not been determined, the...

A luxe, eco-friendly floating oasis could be coming to a city near youโ€”ifย Anthรฉneaย has anything to say about it, that is. After unveiling aย pioneering prototypeย back in 2019, the French outfit has announced it will roll out its first dome-shaped apartments early next year. ย Itโ€™s been a long road for the fully autonomous pod known simply as Anthรฉnea. Penned by French naval architect Jean-Michel Duacancelle, the original design was inspired by the villainโ€™s lair from the 1977 James Bond flickย The Spy Who Loved Me. The UFO-like structure has taken more than five prototypes and over 15 years to complete, but now itโ€™s...

ย  Traditional power generation is not ideal for marine exploration challenges, but the solution may be in the waterโ€™s motion. Researchers have developed sphere-based triboelectric nanogenerators that can be incorporated directly into navigational buoys to provide electricity from ocean waves. To find a power source for buoys, look no further than the ocean itself. During theย AIP Publishing Horizons โ€” Energy Storage and Conversion virtual conference, which will be held August 4-6, 2021, Cรกtia Rodrigues, from the University of Porto, will discuss the prospects of using power generators in the ocean to address the energy concerns of marine exploration. The presentation,...

This landmark tower comprises a cluster of 99 floating islands to symbolize the future of societies in an age of diversity ย  Shenzhen, China,ย held an invitation-only competition to design a landmark tower for the Qianhaiwan district. The area has recently seen substantial urban and architecturalย developments, so it was eager for aย New City Center Landmarkย structure to attract more people to the region. The winning design was a monumental floating-like tower in the bay by Sou Fujimoto Architects, consisting of 99 individual tower-like elements united by the upper part (the deck).

Manhattanโ€™s New Floating Mobile Campus Is 100% Self-Sufficient

The partly public platform will be a fresh new destination for New Yorkers and its visitors for sports and leisure, communication, learning, and so much more. Itโ€™s expected to open sometime around 2022. ย  ย  ย  ย  Since our population increases but the land doesnโ€™t, populated cities need to get creative on expanding to fit this growing number of people and their needs. As a solution, many coastal cities are resorting to floating architecture. For example, Penang is building aย 4,500-acre floating sustainable city; the Copenhagen Harbor in Denmark will soon have aย cluster of floating island parks; Qatar is considering aย rotating...
