Floating Archipelago


Location: Miami, USA

Description:

Cities around the world are currently facing an enormous pressure on affordable housing. Moreover, the situation is becoming increasingly difficult because of the rising sea level which decreases available coastal areas making them impossible to use. The project's goal is to suggest a solution for resilient and affordable floating housing in Miami. A modular system of tiny and manufactured houses make this proposal affordable. The big block 180x180m consists of 9 small blocks 60x60m, each block has a grid which is a multiple of 6m. The composition can be extended just attaching more blocks. Each house grid is a multiple of 3m and can be placed in any places within the block’s grid to get different variations of blocks to bring diversity. Each block has an underwater space with a water storage, water treatment facilities, renewable desalinations, anaerobic digesters and algae bioreactors that allow a one block to exist independently. Three of nine squares are public, there is a swimming pool in the centre, and two buildings with a kindergarten, a fitness, shops, offices, vegetarian restaurant and algae energy production scientific centre
