LOCATION:HAINAN,CHINA

The project originated from the analysis of population growth in hainan,china. The immediate consequences observed was the partial description of the coastal city’s closely related ecosystems: the mangrove wetlands. The building system that has been used up so far cannot adequately support them. The population of china and around the world will continue to grow, and the continued use of existing building systems will eventually completely destroy their ecosystems.

In order to solve this problem, the design proposes a new building system,which is organized and distributed on the ocean like the root system of a mangrove. These small building modules float on the ocean to provide new overloaded construction land on land space. These small building modules are powered by solar energy, and have a ventilation system to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature and humidity, without disrupting the natural circulation of the sun, air and water. Due to extreme weather such as typhoons in hainan,floating buildings the form can better adapt to the changing sea level during typhoons.
