Amazing Arc Shaped Hotel In China That Can Float Over Water

This magnificent piece of architecture is truly one of the miracles of the world. This gigantic architecture is actually a hotel without any base foundations as it floats on the sea surface,

As sea levels rise and coastal cities try to figure out how to deal with the threat of flooding, some cities are starting to consider building farther from the water’s edge. Other cities might not want to retreat. The other approach: Constructing buildings tough enough to handle any storm. This design concept, the Ark Hotel from Russian architecture firm Remistudio, is entirely waterproof, so if water levels rise too much, it can actually float in the ocean.

The design was originally created for an International Union of Architects competition that looked at solutions for disaster relief. While it is in progress, Remizov thinks it’s a viable option for developers. “The coast is an attractive place for development,” he says. “But it’s not always possible to ensure the safety of buildings on the coastline, for example, in areas prone to tsunamis. In this case, the floating building is a foolproof alternative.”
