Archinect : Features : ShowCase: LILYPAD

by karlcow

LILYPAD is touted by Callebaut as a prototypical auto-sufficient amphibious city... a tenable solution to the rising water levels. In addition to providing housing for those displaced by the transforming land/water relationships, LILYPAD also produces sustainable energy for developed regions.

Interesting project. I'm always a bit worried with super structures which are not made of loosely joint small pieces in an organic way. Dinosaurs have disappeared because they were massive structure. In Malaysia, right now, there are big building towers not finished, massive concrete skeleton because of the turn down of the economy a few years ago.

Massive things get eroded like others, but the issue is that they are very hard to fix or remove when things go wrong. The superstructure itself is not sustainable.
