How Houses Could Float
A new industry of floating infrastructure is emerging to help adapt to rising sea levels. There are two distinct approaches that are being put forth as possible solutions: retrofitting homes to be amphibious and building floating cities.
Amphibious homes can preserve the accessibility of the house and maintain the congenial front porch culture in places like Louisiana, said Elizabeth English, founder and director of The Buoyant Foundation Project.
English's design places a steel frame beneath a house, and then below that, in the crawl space, buoyancy elements. Her team then recommends adding elements to prevent lateral movement so the home will not float away while on the surface of floodwaters.She estimated that a contractor could do such a retrofit for about $20 to $30 per square foot, but cautioned the Federal Emergency Management Agency currently discourages this type of building practice.
Modern floating cities are the brainchild of architect Bjarke Ingels. He told CNBC he hopes his Oceanix City, which is currently slated to be built in the harbor near Busan, South Korea, will be "a city that is the most resilient city you can imagine, but at the same time, the most enjoyable city that you can imagine."
"We really hope that it will be a successful project and we would like to replicate it in other parts of the world," Maimunah Mohd Sharif, executive director of the United Nations Human Settlements Programme, told CNBC of the Oceanix development. She said the world must look more into adaptation and hopes that the project can help mitigate or even solve the problem of sea-level rise.
Would you live in a floating city or retrofit your home so it floats during floods? Watch the video above to learn more about what life could be like in these innovative climate change adaptations.

How Houses Could Float
Пікірлер: 309
The effects of the downturn are beginning to sink in. People are being impacted by the long-term decline in property prices and the housing market. I recently sold my house in the Sacramento area, and I want to invest my lump-sum profit in the stock market before prices start to rise again. Is now the right moment to buy, or not?

The scales are off, because of global warming. The earth is getting hotter kzread.info/dash/bejne/mX6osaWMmcTXmLQ.html and that causes more extreme weather patterns. Only fossile fuel industry propaganda says it's something else, but they're false. The once in x amount of time events are used by policy makers to prepare for disaster. Governments are simply not prepared for those larger disasters to happen as often as they're going to be. Is that scary? Yes. But it's more scary to deny it and make things worse.
You failed to explain how services like gas, water, sewer, and electricity will work in this setup? Are they disconnected when the house floats? If so, how does that work? Or is there some sort of flexible pipe that let's me flush my toilet when the house is floating?

Connections to the land are easily done with flexible pipes. Sewerage normally goes through a grinder (so all waste is broken down into small pieces that won't block conduit down the line) and into an onboard tank. From there it is pumped out into a flexible pressure conduit (with back flow stop).

maybe it will be like the Burj Khalifa situation, there's no sewer line, just a large septic tank that need to be cleared manually by a tanker truck once it's full (and sent to the treatment plant). Sink & overflow will simply drain to the river I guess, maybe there's solid waste collection grill to collect plastic waste, for weekly collection by garbage truck. This will be better than what a cruise ship do at sea, they simply purge septic refuse into the ocean for the fishes, nom nom poop.

If they make modular islands, imo they should be more like super blocks with mixed use development to reduce the need to commute between them instead of doing single purpose zoning.
We already have floating cities, they are called cruise ships. Instead of dismantling those giant ones, just tie three of them together, and retrofit them: one for lodging, one for living, and one for research, and you got a floating city. This design is modular just like the one discussed in 2:17. I just hope they are really tighten down, and don't crash in land during one of those 1000 years events.

Interesting video. I am wondering about tsunamis. Will the floating cities float above the waves? I am thinking of the December 26, 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and March 11, 2011 Japan tsunami. If they were further out to sea they would mitigate some of those issues. The closer to the shore the more risk for tsunamis. It would be interesting to see both a compute model and a physical tank model of a “floating city” next to a shore and how they would handle a large wave. Interesting new industry to watch as well as the retrofitting of houses to float in place.

@@ph11p3540 yes I do understand how impossibly hard moving in entire floating city would be. I think the entire floating city concept is an incredibly stupid egotistical elitist waste of money. if you make it too big to move it all you're doing is creating debris that can be thrown around by a storm surge except this time it the size of a city block. Practically speaking you would need a nuclear powered engine and some kind of variable thrust guided system in an advanced computer system just to be able to control it and the number of places you would be able to park the floating structure itself is extremely limited. But if they can't move these individual building structures they're talking about all they're doing is creating a minimum several hundred ton floating battery ram to crush entire city blocks during a storm surge.
There are examples of amphibious buildings. Riverboat casinos in the Mississippi River around Vicksburg sit in the river on the bottom in low water and they float held in place by chains in high water.
This might be plausible for places like the Netherlands and Singapore who are highly dense and rising sea levels are affecting them but at that point land reclamation is just a much better choice.

BROAD Group manufactures something they call a B-Core slab. It's a steel panel with very thin steel cylinders inside it. It is used in skycrapers etc. due to its strength whilst using a lot less steel. Each B-core slab contains a lot of air so it can float. Their product brochure shows floating cities. Worth checking out.
The interesting part will be the utilities and the foundation with how it deals with erosion
I actually kind of find this very ironic you see traditionally before air conditioning houses in FLorida were built on high ground and where they couldn't be built on a high ground they were built on stilt foundations so that even if the entire area flooded it would have to get to 220 ft of water to get into your house. So the principal the floating foundation house actually makes a lot of sense and is good engineering it's just hilarious because we already had a solution to the problem and up until like the 1940s.

In the Florida keys I saw a lot of houses that consisted of a concrete pad with steel posts that supported a house. The house is accessed by a steel spiral staircase, the car is parked underneath on the concrete pad. The steel posts are long enough to be higher than hurricane swell is ever likely to be. It's not complicated and appears to work well.
What is to protect these islands from storm surge, strong winds, heavy downpours, and simply big waves
great idea and COMMON sense.

I like the idea of "floating homes" along existing coastal areas, but something tells me there could be problems with extending coastal cities into waveless areas such as bays, harbors, deltas, wetlands, marshes, and rivers. To disrupt existing waterways by filling them up with more human habitations does not seem to me a likely beneficial endeavor. Our waterways are already experiencing irreversible destruction. What has happened to the UN recognition of population proliferation as an unhealthy imbalance to earth's resources, organisms, and plant life? I am suspect that there is no mention of sewage treatment or management in this video. Adding nitrogen to the oceans and especially to largely stagnant water collections has deleterious effects, such as blue algae. Nevertheless, I share the excitement about scientifically exploring all these possibilities.
You can make concrete structures float. We have successfully built concrete boats, and floating oil platforms from concrete. This big issue is marine concrete construction is very expensive, high maintenance and short lived compared to their land based structures. Such structures only make sense for residential construction when land prices are hyper expensive and everyone is working in high paying high end jobs. These are pipe dream projects much like Palm and World Islands in Dubai.
Hey guess what's technically wetlands, the district of Columbia AKA DC the Capitol building of the United States. Miami Florida is a man-made Sandbar built into wetlands. Disney World in Orlando Florida are built on wetlands. The entire freaking state of Louisiana. Most of New Jersey and Long Island were originally wetlands.
