August 8, 2012 - Floating Cities

CaliforniaMama · 08-08-2012, 10:08 AM

When I was in 5th and 6th grade, I qualified for extra curricular classes to stimulate creativity and critical thought (but in high school they didn't put me on the college track - go figure). My favorite activity was learning about what the professionals thought would be the houses and cities of the future. And so, today I bring you Floating Cities of the Future!

The Seascraper is a green machine with a self-sufficient community of homes, offices, and recreational space.

The Plastic Fish Tower is a mixed use plastic recycling plant.

The Waterscraper is envisioned as a tubelike underwater residence and lab. Beaches, restaurants, a marina, and a dive center would cater to luxury-apartment dwellers and hotel guests.

(I wonder if kids would find enough entertainment without amusement parks and places to grind their skateboards.
