Floating City
Speculative and built projects exploring cities that float, drift, or exist in unconventional spatial relationships to land and water.
Floating cities represent a design approach to urban expansion that challenges traditional land-based settlement patterns. Projects in this topic range from theoretical frameworks to realized installations, examining how architecture and urban planning can adapt to water, air, and other non-conventional environments.The community explores modular systems for mobile urbanism, offshore and waterborne infrastructure, and architectural interventions that redefine the relationship between city and landscape. Work includes adaptive design strategies, instant city concepts, and speculative visions of future urban settlement.
