Underwater
Architectural and design explorations of underwater environments, marine habitats, and ocean-based structures.
Beyond the Aquarium
Aquarium usually talks about the ocean but we forget it’s the river that leads to the ocean. So for a country like Bangladesh, where 230 rivers are flowing all over the country, Aquarium has to be rethought completely. Cause it has to tell to the whole story not the half of it, for us to understand as a riverine country how much we are depended on rivers.
Floating Architecture and Offshore Adaptive Design: Proximity Island – Frame
A floating architecture experiment that responds to sea-level rise, framing the ocean horizon while redefining offshore adaptive design.
Heart of the Ocean: A Radical Vision for Sustainable Ocean Architecture
A visionary sustainable ocean architecture project transforming an oil rig into a kinetic museum powered by tides, water, and human experience.
The Hyper Armida
The first underwater art village
Tsunami Convergenics
Tsunami Convergenics is a housing module that works with its extreme environment off the coast of Onagawa continental shelf. The housing units work inconjunction with the Onagwa Power Plant in both protecting and providing alternate energy source that is captivated through extreme wave currents of tsunamic earthquakes. The housing begins to work with its
Pacific
Interesting proposal on capturing tidal energy and extreme conditions as an opportunity. The units become too isolated as there are not connecting spaces. It doesn't develop issues as food or oxygen supply. .
Operative Sanctuary
An underwa
A beautiful idea very nicely drawn but not developed. Difficult to check how it works, how it stands, where are the living or working spaces. How they relate to endangered species. They seem to be individual units for short periods of time, not habitats.
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!
SUBMERSION
The project "SUBMERSION" is community based habitat which responds to the growing need for an alternative living method. Using a modular construction method allows for scalability and variety in organization and in location making it sustainable option for underwater habitation.
Each dormitory space looks attractive enough but by putting together six of them, the community hub at the center becomes dark. The communal space in between units is not well solved and it doesn't have any clear larger productive area. When too many units get together it becomes too dense.
YEMOJA
The Spirit of Ocean, a marine research center and tourist attraction located in the middle of the ocean 400 meters east of Fernando de Noronha island, Brazil. the iconic of architecture can be seen from the island ''The Water Vase'' that embraces nature within.
wow! nice work guys!!! 𓆜 𓆛 𓆞 𓆟 𓆡
Look so Fantastic!
Tidal Survival
This project seek
Even though the idea of connecting with nature is an interesting one, the design outcome doesn't express this interest. The habitat space is too tortuous. Works better as a unit than in connection with others. The best point is its floating condition
Arabian Sea Oceanarium
Exhibition concept offers visitors; captivating underwater journey. Base on; various themes like Jim Corbett forest, Elephanta Cave, the tropical oceanarium, and coral reef – sea rainforest. Housing over 224 different species and creatures from cold, warm, and salt waters, etc. found on three coasts the Malabar, the gulf of Khambhat, and Lakshadweep Island.
"Heart of the Ocean"
The main idea of the project is to combine the normally understood building structure with the power of the element into a kinetic hybrid. It aims to symbolize synergy between human activity and ocean power. The effect of this combination are two large oceanic waterfalls which appear flooding the existing object.
CLOAKED COLONIZATION
Colonizing the depths through dynamic ideas with the help of mother nature
The idea of mixing with the ocean bed could be interesting. The proposal is badly presented and difficult to understand. It only addresses a single unit with no interest in a community.
The Sea Safary
These sea safari activities adapt the safari program and apply it to the marine environment around oil rig platform to protect marine life especially chondrichthyan through conservation and controlled hunting programs as well as generate income through tourism and education activities.
Such a mesmerizing work .
An unique,praiseworthy and undoubtedly beautiful work! As a Bangladeshi I take pride to witness this kind of project which are unconditionally needed for the reservation of the remaining rivers in the country. Hope to experience this amazing work of talent in real life. GREAT WORK respected architectures!
