INTRODUCTION
From centuries architecture has evolved after advancement in builinding materials , from living in stone caves and huts to wall bearing brick buildings to sky taming R.C.C. and steel skyscrapers. What Is the next big thing that we can imagine ? Today we have seen a population explosion happening in many major cities and need for land expansion ,this in turn has created a problem on ecology as trees are cut and nature is destroyed in order to accommodate the new population numbers. The focus of this project is to deal with this problem by taking people up few floors and making way for nature below for coexistence of urban and nature. Buildings that levitate or Float in air which can accommodate all the growing population and expand vertical rather than horizontal similar to high rises but free of foundation
INSPIRATION
One of the biggest animated movie was the movie ‘UP’ directed by Pete Docter. An old man and a boy goes off on an adventure in his house by using 20,622 helium filled balloons in search of Paradise Falls, his wife’s dream destination. This movie even though was a fantasy , but had immense potential to explore how we imagine a building. How a house which is built as a permanent static structure becomes a dynamic floating structure to move and explore. Can buildings also float by just using lifting gases and become independent of ground?

LIFTING GAS
LIVING SPACE
LIVING SPACE LIFTING GAS
COMPARISON: MORE THE WEIGHT THE LIFTING GAS HAS TO LIFT , MORE WILL BE THE VOLUME. A SEPERATE LIVING SPACE WILL ADD MORE WEIGHT WITH THE LIVE AND DEAD LOAD. TO REDUCE THIS , THE IDEA IS TO INCORPORATE LIVING SPACE WITHIN THE LIFTING GAS TO REDUCE VOLUME.

SECTION OF PNEUMATIC MEMBER
CARBON FIBER SHELL THE PNEUMATIC TUBES ARE COVERED WITH LIGHT WEIGHT CARBON FIBER STRUCTURES IN A PNEUMATIC MEMBER. THE PNEUMATIC TUBES ARE CONNECTED TO LIFTING GAS SUPPLY PIPES AND VACUUMN DRAIN PIPE . THE PNEUMATIC TUBE ARE EQUIPPED WITH PRESSURE DECTORS OR LEKAGE DETECTORS WHICH DETECTS HYDROGEN LEKAGE DUE TO PRESSURE DIFFERENCE IN THE TUBE AND VACUUMN CHAMBER IS ACTIVATED WHICH DRAINS THE HYDROGEN AND A BACKUP PNEMATUC TUBE IS SUPPLIED WITH HYDROGEN TO MAINTAIN BUOYANCY OF THE STRUCTURE AVOIDING ANY ACCIDENTS AND GAS WASTAGE. LATER THE DAMAGED TUBES ARE REPLACED.
