Design specification Due to global warming, the rising sea level has caused a large number of natural disasters and cities been flooded. Based on this trend, it is predicted that in the future we will have to move out of the land and live on the sea. The project was built on the basis of the gradual submersion of land cities and the needs of creation of new cities on the sea. The main function of the offshore part of the building is housing so as to meet the living needs of a large number of people, and it is placed on the water to meet the lighting needs. The top platform is a sky farm. The main functional areas of the public area on the water are café, library, bar and so on to meet people’s leisure and entertainment needs. Also, a crescent platform extends out for water drops and boats to berth. SEA LEVEL RISE MAINLY AFFECTS AREAS
SEA-LEVEL RISE DATA
THE DANGEROUS OF RISING SEA LEVELS
Some of the world's cities are vulnerable to rising sea levels.
According to data monitored by NASA satellites, the Earth's sea level has risen by 85.9 millimeters since 1993, an average of 3.4 millimeters per year. Sea level rise is mainly due to two factors: 1) the melting of glaciers increases the amount of seawater; 2) Increased volume caused by warming sea temperatures.
Sea level rise is a kind of delayed natural disaster to human survival and economic development. Just because it is delayed, it is often not taken seriously by people. The rise of sea level brings harm to people living in coastal areas. It increases the frequency of catastrophic storm surges in coastal areas, intensifies flooding, erodes coastal lowlands and coasts, and recedes coasts.
If global temperatures rise by more than 1.5C, the world's oceans will rise by more than 15 inches (38.1cm) by 2100. Moreover, if global temperatures rise to 2 degrees Celsius, the world's oceans will rise by more than 20 inches in a century. However, it is important to know that rising global temperatures may adversely affect cities that are geographically prone to storms and floods. "These global metropolises may look strong and stable, but this is an illusion. They are increasingly threatened as sea levels rise."The main cities affected are Jakarta, Bangkok, Lagos, Dhaka, London, Houston and Manila

The whole building is not separate, and they can be spliced together. Functional facilities are different from each other. A large number of individual facility connected to the water platform are spliced together as a new type of watery city, and people can slowly get away from the land and live on the sea. The submerged city becomes a scenery of the strait, warning people to learn
Analysis
millimeters per year margin: +0.4
The polluted water in coastal areas, the salinization of farmland, the increase of tidal range and the strengthening of wave action weaken the ability of coastal protection dykes and DAMS, force designers to improve engineering design standards and increase the investment of engineering projects. It will also aggravate the intrusion of sea water in estuaries, increase the difficulty of sewage discharge and destroy the ecological balance.

Perspective Section
“water drop” is the main vehicle for people to transit in water in the future, and meanwhile can meet the needs of people’s necessary daily life. The powerful internal recycle of water can supply human life for a long time in water drops, so water drops in the submerged cities are used widely as rescue vehicles, which transfer the rescued people or relief supplies back and forth between the needed regions and the new shelter city, becoming the essential means of transportation. The water drop’s surface is made of carbon nanotubes to mitigate global warming and meanwhile the water drop can be deformed according to the current water pressure to drive with maximum efficiency. People constantly produce and improve the “water drop” to meet the needs of people living in water.

The underwater part of the building is mainly a water drop parking lot, a water drop manufacturing factory and a laboratory, and a spa area. The water droplets are processed continuously on the rotating device to achieve streamlined automatic production.. The hydroelectric laboratory is connected with the hydroelectric space from top to bottom. After hydroelectric generation, the purified water flows directly into the hydroelectric room, and the sewage after hydroelectric treatment is recycled back to the laboratory for power generation

It aims and features to build a hotel that goes well with their surrounding landscapes and is extended on gardens, with a theme on hills and waters. This hotel is built into an architecture of new Chinese style, whose pitched roofs and bracket system carries forward traditional Chinese building styles, as well as wood-imitation materials blend with natural sceneries surrounded it. The whole architecture there is enclosed by dotted buildings, connected by corridors, stitched together by flowing water in the center, and accompanied by natural plants. This hotel fits well into a scenery garden, whose main functions include a guest room, banquet hall, hot spring, Buddhist meditation, and office area to create a space for people's minds whose inside and outside areas are linked by distinctive waterfront platforms.

Design Description This project is designed based on Lavadia. The region once flourished for its mineral resources, but it is gradually decaying due to over-exploitation. To develop and promote the local declining mining culture, the building will be transformed into a comprehensive building with an ore museum as the main body and an entertainment function as the supplement. The process of ore mining and processing is the main line throughout the building, and people can learn more about the ore culture through the machinery and ore in the ore exhibition area. The mining culture is penetrated in a popular way, such as streets where artisans perform, operas telling the history of miners. People can personally experience how to process the ore and make the crafts they want, which allows people to interactively participate in the production and helps them gain knowledge better. Besides, the building also contains a swimming pool, restaurants, hot springs, terraces and other recreational areas, where people can relax and entertain themselves after studying. The building is not located in the center of the city, so there is an accommodation area at the foot of the hill, which is convenient for visitors to stay. They don't need to travel to places with sea views, this is the only option for them to spend their holidays.
