Float - Koen Olthuis; David Keuning

Building on Water to Combat Urban Congestion and Climate Change

KORTE INHOUD

Floating buildings have many advantages. They are both flexible and mobile. A buoyant structure can be moved to make space for a new building, decreasing the need for the demolition of development that still has a productive economic future. Floating buildings outwit changing water levels by rising and falling with the tide and, in doing so, promote a more responsible water management. They leave no scars on their sites, permitting planners to actively meet the demands of the moment. It's up to the architects of the climate-change generation to respond to the world's spatial needs with smart, sustainable proposals. Float! Will help them do just that.
