Dutch Floating Architecture
In Holland, houses and other structures are being equipped to float in case of flooding. The houses are connected to electricity and plumbing through flexible pipes. While it is troubling that climate change has created the need for this kind of innovation, it is also promising to consider the different applications for these techniques.
Quoted from “Dutch Architects Plan for a Floating Future” feature on NPR: Zevenbergen’s company has already built floating greenhouses and has designs for floating roads. It even has plans for houses that not only float, but also move.
