SUICHI
Suichi is a city of futuristic ocean buildings made from 3D-printed plastic waste from the Pacific which extend 300 meters below the water's surface. The project imagines a series of dome marines that would sustain the crustacean form of life. This new invented urbanization is entirely self sufficient and energy efficient. The project's objective is not restricted within Tokyo Bay, but rather foreshadows a future having urbanscape in the abyssal zones of the ocean.
