BIG, Samoo and Oceanix have revealed their design for a first-of-its kind climate-resilient floating city, destined for the seas off Busan in South Korea.
Description Oceanix is a blueprint for floating cities to combat issues of land shortage and rising water levels in coastal cities. The design consists of platforms forming hexagonal modules. Each platform would consist of 6 integrated systems- zero waste, circular systems, closed loop water systems, food, net zero energy, innovative mobility and habitat regeneration. The islands would have low rise structures with terraces for indoor-outdoor living. There would be soil-less permaculture systems for supply of food. The floating platforms would connect to land via link-span bridges. Energy for the island would be generated through floating and rooftop photovoltaic panels.
BIG has designed a concept for a floating city of 10,000 people that could help populations threatened by extreme weather and rising sea levels.
