The Ark project by Remistudio: Against extreme environmental conditions and climate changes, as well as protection of natural environment from human activities.
“The Ark project was designed on the basis of international experience received from the UIA Work Program “Architecture for Disasters Relief” and according to the concept of a bioclimatic house with independent life support sources. In such buildings provision is made for an independent life support system including elements ensuring a closed functioning cycle.” (…) “The building makes a single energy system. The form of the cupola assists to create an air-eddy at the outer surface around the central bearing, where the wind power generator and tornado generator are placed” (…) “A stressed structure of arches and ropes permits to distribute load along the whole bulk in case of earthquake. The structure of the building permits it to float in case of water leveling up in the World Ocean, to keep afloat and exist autonomously on the surface of the water.”
