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.

A
quapolis 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.
