This is a solution to problems that lie ahead with incrementeo mass of water in the oceans, in particular with all that climate change will affect us.

According to the forecasts of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), the ocean level should rise from 20 to 90 cm during the XXI century. Implying a temperature rise which in turn lead to increased water.

Countries such as Vietnam, Egypt, Bangladesh, Guyana or Bahamas will see their most inhabited places swamped at each flood and their most fertile fields devastated by the invasion of water.

Vincent Callebaut, architect presents a modern work, called “Lilypad” that seems to be closer to science fiction but in fact is an immediate response to one of the most serious consequences of global warming melting the poles and therefore Sea level rise and ocean.

This is an “ecological Acropolis” is presented as a floating city. Furthermore, as an ecological city provides housing for future victims of climate change.

Moreover, this floating city has another peculiarity: it moves constantly. All part of a concept of ecological resilience biotechnology that enters the nomadic and urban ecology in the sea.

This amphibious city can accommodate 50,000 people and can develop its fauna and flora around a central lagoon (artificial), which originates from the cleaning of rain water.

This lake is actually in contact with the ocean depth. It also has three ports and three mountains that includes, among others, shopping and entertainment.

The homes are located in suspended gardens and around them a network of streets and alleyways with organic outline. The goal is to create a harmonious coexistence between man and nature, to explore new ways of living.

To achieve their own livelihood, ecopolis has arable land to create power. The other source of income is from trade with the coastal cities that is touring.

Lilypad be a city that could sail the seas and oceans. The architect also thinks in a city that does not emit any type of waste, using biomass fuels such as to move the motors of the mobile island.

The Lilypad uses all existing green technological advances to work, including incorporating solar, wind and tidal power, as well as waste recycling and other wonders.
Besides, not only does not emit carbon dioxide but is ready to process the carbon in the atmosphere thanks to its outer shell of titanium dioxide.

What we do know for sure is that it is now only a concept of home, much is being talked about and discuss climate change and how it will affect us in the future, but I venture to say that only know how things will be in the time in which we live. We shall see …
