Water-Scraper - Self-Sufficient Underwater Skyscraper

Signed up for this years eVolo Skyscraper Competition, this Water-Scraper represents a mix of a self-sustainable skyscraper and floating island.

Designed by Sarly Adre Bun Sarkum, the Water-Scraper makes use of different eco-friendly technologies, like wave, wind and solar energy to produce electricity. In addition, it uses farming, aquaculture, and hydroponic techniques to grow its own food.

The roof of the structure, located above the water, features a small forest, while the lower levels include living and office spaces. In order to be upright, the structure uses a special system of ballasts aided by several squid-like tentacles that produce kinetic energy.

With continuously increasing sea levels, this project may as well be brought to life in the next century. However, if people make serious actions to tackle climate change, there will be no need to build this futuristic representation on Noah's Ark.
