wireless CORALPODS
Introducing wireless CORALPODS with no cables attached to the sea floor, mainland or anywhere else. Coralpods believe in a circular exchange with the existing marine ecosystem while providing an inclusive habitat. Both terrestrial (humans) and marine species can inhibit it.
Wow! Amazing! Great concept!
This project answers a lot of the requests needed for an habitat underwater. The form of the unit and of the coral pods respond to the conditions for pressure, light, movement underwater. It takes into account issues of food, oxygen or water provision. Addresses different space conditions both in a single unit and in a social level. Even though the exterior of the coral pod is not well shown in the panels, the proposal is very strong.
Wow! truly a futuristic yet practical idea! thoroughly enjoyed reading the brief! Well done and all the best!
