This is
Aquapolis.
A man made, floating structure, some five kilometers across
containing sweetwater bassin, habitats, energy plants and harbours.
There is space for industrial sites, aqua culture and recreation.
Underwater hotels and condos, recreational living
areas and inspiring
workingplaces - harvesting the richness of the ocean with smart
technology, based on ecological principles.

In Rotterdam and Amsterdam
there are modern designers and constructers
saying: " have to go with nature and water
instead of against it".
"The See and the Rhin is going to take back what we have borrowed
from them! Our country is built on a delta."
The engineers of the region are presently building floating houses - they are sketching
on floating cities and the more aware they become of the water
levels of the Ocean and the rivers, the more engaged and well funded.
In Qikrux we are presenting Aquapolis and the Vision of floating villages
- ecological productive - giving back more that it takes - floating
compartments - inverted reefs - cultivation of crustacea, fish and
photoplancton. Solar panels floating in equator seas - to hot to live in
but a region of possibilities to harwest solar power and wave energies to
distribute polar vise in Hydrogen Powered transportational systems.
Floating Homes - tsunami safe - water pumped in and out of floating
compartments - offering possibilities to submerge the habitat when threats
of super waves are imminent.
Aquapolis from an other angle:

Tsunami safe Juniper Island. Atoll design
and wave generated energy. Living Habitat of the Oceans. Kept in place by
off shore satellite positioning systems and Floating in the
Ocean Streams - seasonal fluctuations - sometimes moved upstream fueled by
Hydrogen Power Tugs of Aquapolis. Solar Power floating panels - living habitat
of sailing and scuba diving - harvesting the Inverted Reefs of Aquapolis
submerged structures - floating compartments constructed of, in situ made, floating
modules - a grid of net - like a bubble - and an electric current added
to the net. Hydrocarbons and calcium attach itself to the attractive iron
- concretization - a concrete bubble is made there and other bubbles
(floating compartments) are
made inland and transported out to the floating habitat. Constructed in a
natural form - like floating atolls - Aquapolis. Inverted reefs - crustacean,
shellfish, coral creatures, algae - natural ecologies in floating new
worlds of prolific marine life - and a human crew making genetic
modifications and creating every molecule needed for a decent life.
Healthy natural balances - big fish eat small fish - and the scuba divers
have the right of nature to harvest from abundant life - reassuring itself
in fields of ecological understanding.
Aquapolis
is an artistic vision in the tradition
of pioneer colonization of new ecological nishes. But this time human
efforts will give back more to nature than it takes! On concious premisses
of seed and harvest.
