According to the Intergovernmental Group on the Evolution of the Climate the ocean level will rise from 20 to 90 cm during the 21st Century .
As a solution to this problem architect Vincent Callebaut designed a building that could serve as a luxurious future space for 50,000 inhabitants who will want refuge from rising waters.
The designer believes the world will be desperately seeking shelter in the future after the climate change. Too bad that this shelters won’t have the ability to host all people in the world, maybe just for rich people.
The whole structure is covered in green walls and roofs, the top portion covered in grasses with the inner portion featuring a palm oasis, and the under portion serving as a bed for natural sea planktons and oceanic plants.
If you really like this retreat and think of buying one place there , relax because Vincent Callebaut hopes that “Floating Ecopolis for Climate Refugees” will make the transition from design to reality around the year 2100.
