When climate change give up oceans to wash over the lands we once called home , you ’re go to want to immigrate to one of the ecopolises that Belgian architect Vincent Callebaut create for his LILYPAD conception project . Callebaut ’s cities will float on the oceans swollen by the water from melted icebergs , and produce their own food product for up to 50,000 citizenry whose homes are stacked inside “ pitcher’s mound ” where plants are grown .
With a sunken lagune at its heart , the LILYPAD can also bring out energy for coastal cities , via a compounding of solar , thermic and photovoltaic energy , plus air current and tidal mogul .
The idea is to produce a planned city , with area give to oeuvre , shopping , and living . Its form is based on an Amazonian lilypad , and the key freshwater lagoon act as ballast resistor , preserve the city unchanging .
hoi polloi would live along walk on those mound , as well as in and below them .
Here is what the hundreds of atoll in the Maldives might take care like after clime change overwhelm most of the land and LILYPADs replace islands . LILYPAD : A Floating Ecopolis[via Archinect ]
