Floating cities--to be continued...

The sea level is rising every second! Being in Boston so near to the ocean, this news scares me a little bit, are we all going to be underwater sometime in the future??
Apparently, this same idea has scared many architects as well and there has been a lot of interesting designs of floating cities!
Here are some of my favorite ones.

So what should a floating cities be like? I want to design my own floating city sometime! (probably during this week~~)


While researching for pictures for floating city, I also found a fascinating and amazing project by Rael San Fratello Architects -- the floating garden! This moving octopus flies around and clean up the air in different places! What a beautiful idea! Maybe those cute little things can even help planting plants at various places to green the planet

This project shows the value of thinking outside of the box "green architecture". It inspires me to think of environmental friendly designs not just as solar panels, but something totally new!
