The Waterpod: a floating structure for the future

This design was made for rising tides for a floating community. Its primary sources, according to the artists, will be solar power and power that´s been generated by a wind turbine. I´m not sure if this is meant to be serious, as the developpers are artists, and they´ve also put a focus on art on the house itself (there are rotating art installations).
According to the organizers, it will ”… showcase the critical importance of the environment and art, serving as a model for new living, d.i.y. technologies, art, and dialogue. It illustrates positive interactions between communities: private and corporate; artistic and social; aquatic and terrestrial while exploring the cultural richness of New York’s five boroughs and beyond.”
