OOAD and OOIIO architectural firms from Portugal and Spain have combined to conceive an incredible waterfront community. A totally futuristic take on community planning inspired from lilly pads creates a futuristic look on a community that eerily seems like Venice in a microcosm.
This residential concept would have parts of the community literally floating on the water very similar to the way a lilly pad floats. The concept would be home to a whole community that not only is right on the water, but is also intertwined by using the water to string together nestling such as in Venice. The design team didn't stop the innovation there though -- that'd be too easy. Instead they also plan to retrofit the entire community to be functional on green energy from solar panels, geothermal technology and water recycling. This is an incredible take on nature with support from historical breakthroughs.Photo Credits: designboom, ooiio
Lilly Pad Architecture
OOAD and OOIIO Architectural Firms Have Created a Floating Community
Trend Themes
1. Floating Community - Creating a community that floats on water presents opportunities for innovative architectural design and eco-friendly technologies.
2. Lilly Pad Inspiration - Using lilly pads as a design inspiration opens up possibilities for integrating natural elements into urban environments.
3. Green Energy Retrofit - Retrofitting communities with green energy solutions such as solar panels, geothermal technology, and water recycling offers disruptive innovation potential.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - Architects can explore new designs and solutions for creating floating communities and incorporating natural inspirations.
2. Renewable Energy - The renewable energy industry can benefit from developing and implementing green energy solutions for retrofitting existing communities.
3. Urban Planning - Urban planners can consider the impact of floating communities on city design and the integration of natural elements in urban environments.
