This project is designed for the year 2100, and is called 'The Floating Ecopolis for Climate Refugees', which is definitely a present and realistic danger in architecture.

"this silly pad is a real amphibian half aquatic and half terrestrial city, which able to accommodate 50,000 inhabitants and inviting the biodiversity of this world to develop its fauna and flora around a central lagoon of soft water collecting and purifying the rain waters efficiently. This artificial lagoons is entirely immersed ballasting thus the city. It enables to live in the heart of the subaquatic depths.


The multifunctional programming is based on 3 marinas and 3 mountains dedicated respectively to the work, the shops and the entertainments. The whole set is covered by a stratum of planted housing in suspended gardens and crossed by a network of streets and alleyways with organic outline.

The motive is to create a harmonious coexistence of the couple Human / Nature and to explore new ways of living the sea by building with fluidity collective spaces in proximity, overwhelming spaces of social inclusion suitable to the meeting of all the inhabitants – denizen or foreign-born, new or old, young or aged people."
