Floating architecture is not only an issue for luxurious
tourism but with the climatic change the building of
floating structures becomes relevant for many areas in the
world. In regions with rising sea levels, frequent flooding,
or thawing permafrost, floating structures can be a solution
to adapt existing settlement areas to these new conditions.
The self-sufficient energy and supply systems required for
floating settlements can also be used in rural areas with a
lot of migration.
