Underwater design encompasses architectural interventions, habitats, and structures situated in or adapted to aquatic environments. This includes both speculative projects and practical solutions for living, working, or creating sanctuaries beneath and on the ocean surface.

The community explores biomimetic approaches to ocean architecture, floating and submerged pavilions, adaptive marine habitats, and sustainable systems that respond to aquatic ecosystems. Projects range from speculative bio-integrated structures to frameworks for offshore settlements and filtered sanctuary spaces.

The Ocean Hive

The base of The Ocean Hive starts with just 20 units. It starts to expand as it collects garbage from the ocean, processes it with heat of the sun, uses it for 3d-print.
