Ark Hotel! Giant biosphere is a ‘self-contained haven’ in event of climate change flood disaster
The futuristic Ark Hotel has been designed to withstand floods caused by rising sea levels.
The floating behemoth is a ‘biosphere’ conceived as a safe, self-contained haven in case of disaster.
Boasting a green, self-sustaining environment for guests, the shell-shaped hotel would withstand tidal waves and other natural disasters.
Architects say the Ark’s shell-like construction of arches and cables evenly distribute weight so it is also invulnerable to earthquakes.
The design uses solar panels and a rainwater collection system to provide inhabitants with power and water.
The greenhouse-like environment also provides for lush vegetation to help with air quality and provide food sources.
The design can be adapted to work on both land and water.
