Serbian architects build Noah's Ark against natural disasters

Leave a Comment
The architects Serbs Aleksandar Joksimvic and Jelena Nikolic have designed a floating city, self-sustaining and resilient to natural disasters. Able certainly to survive at diluvianas rains that have originated the biblical story of Noah's Ark.

The city's name is Noah's Ark and can be installed in the middle of any ocean safely. According to the architects, she can manage themselves alone, without relying on the rest of the world to survive.

In fact, this town does not stick to a single infrastructure. Are several arcas interconnected through submarine cables, and all will have flexible stalks prey with columns at the bottom of the ocean.

According to the architects, the sides of the island are large enough to protect the residents of strong storms and even tsunamis â€" each has about 64 feet long.

In case of an emergency there is also a plan B, no less futuristic: the potential residents can flee to giant air balls that are in tunnels covered, not vulnerable to external climate, which are flood-proof.

One of the vital factors for the sustainability of this town relates to energy. She will come from three sources: tides, Sun and wind. The water will be collected through a funding system that extends through the entire island. The entire structure of the project will be covered with artificial coral, which attracts marine life and encourages the emergence of new ecosystems with.

Here are some pictures of the project.
