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.

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.

The Ark of Knowledge

The more civiliztion develops, the more dangerous and intense issues the Earth is facing. Ecologists give a non-positive prognosis to the Earth's future. In the near future humanity will need to find a new place for living. We need not only save humanity in its physical appearance, but we must find the ways to save our culture and identity.

A nice design that could have been even more braver in its adhoc nature. The hexagonal organisation is quite cliched for such floating settlements.

Juror

What a thoughtful, evocative and beautiful concept. Loved everything about it from the self sustaining design for food, energy and waste, the restorative idea of building the mangroves as the society grows and moves, and the society, complete with a bakery, seafood nursery and school. The design also looks comfortable and aspirational, and the mangrove is a beautiful foundation for the concept. Well done!

I appreciate with the concept of the design above as well as the use of space in the urban city. It is such a good idea to combine the bike and car parking underground which maximise the space in the city.

Love the idea of second life. With a tree to hold on for the love ones is full of commemorative value. This design is eco friendly as the world needs more trees than ever due to the climate crisis is getting worst. The basement carpark is a very good concept for busy cities, gives more spaces for green infrastructure on surface and make it a better place for community.

Simple but strong idea; the estructural criteria is not that clear, but there are great spaces; I would work probably more with the park, topography, pathways...

Elms Land

From above it can be Exchanged for any cultivated field. From below, the concrete of the walls, assimilates it to the surrounding landscape. The wavy roof it's an EXCEPTION in a gray context, it undoes the squareness and the razionality of the building and aggregates all the spaces with it's flowing shape.
