I feel like calling them natural disaster proof is temping fate. Anyone remember how the titanic was unsinkable?
-
Looks like one of the first aesthetically pleasing solution for coastal cities expanding into the water. Will be interesting to see how innovation ramps up with necessity
-
the thing i'm mostly concerned by is how affordable can this type of housing really be?? Most of the world can't realistically afford to buy a floating home with ultra modern tech and amenities available. I fear this is just another excuse for millionaires to save their assess whilst condemning everybody else and as a way to create a physical divide between them and lower income classes.
-
There’s already floating buildings such as in Amsterdam so it doesn’t seem too far fetched of an idea. Just wouldn’t catch me on that during a typhoon. Another great video Tomorrow’s Build
-
The puns and references did not go unnoticed. I smiled throughout the entire video.
-
The wisest thing that should be on everyones' mind currently, should be, To invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on the government, especially with the current economic crisis around the world.
-
I question the impermanence, and the need for maintenance. Boats don't last forever, and they don't float forever without regular repairs. This will be a considerable head-ache. I can foresee certain locations offering enough benefits to make it viable, but I don't see this replacing land reclamation any time soon.
-
Anything that involve aquatic cities of any kind, wether they be surface-level or subaquatic, is an instant moment of joy for me. Thank you so much!
-
7:52 "Then by the year 3000, .... not much will have changed but we'll be living on top of the water" well done
-
*Slaps the roof of a floating building* This baby can fit so many puns!
-
I like the idea of working with nature, instead of always fighting it.
-
I think floating city is a great idea, but I don't really feel comfortable about the way they attached to each others. Those need to be much stronger or some ways to flex with the ocean waves in a storm.
-
Looks like a neat solution for offices and expensive housing. I don't see the average Joe living in these, so it will probably not solve housing demands. There are also hundreds of questions to solve like how to get rid of garbage and sewage. If people are willing to pay for it, sure why not?
-
Ooh, if the Maldives become fully submerged but still inhabit floating structures, that's going to be a fun legal debate. I guess shifting borders when land gets submerged will be a prime source of conflict basically everywhere on earth.
-
How would sunlight reach the ocean floor in such a case? And how would these cities be affected by seismic activity?
-
This is interesting. In Seoul, we already have what is called the floating islands at Banpo bridge. It will be nice to see how this pans out for Busan.
-
I'd quite like my floating city to move. Head to the tropics in winter, then move north (or south) in summer (summer being the hot season irrespective of hemisphere). Also floating data centres are an abslutely brilliant idea that needs to happen.
-
We had massive floating buildings in Biloxi, Mississippi until Hurricane Katrina hit and deposited those buildings on land. They became battering rams and leveled all the buildings on shore.
-
"Is this really what the future of our cities will look like?" No. The answer is no.
-
I'm loving the water related puns: "the idea was first floated", "[..] made waves".. and when I thought there would be no more "[...] is jumping in the deep-end"
