Introduction

Life originated from water and we humans are always surrounded by it. Although we have shifted to land, water remains a vital element for our survival. But now life on Earth is plagued by the hazards of climate change, global warming, rise in population, depleting resources, etc.

One of the major threats that might change the way we live in the future is the rise in sea level and global temperature. With the prediction of many coastal cities sinking below sea level, we might have to brace ourselves for an unseen future. Creating living spaces on the water will be the need of the hour in the coming future.

Volume Zero Competitions invited architects, designers, engineers, teachers, thinkers, students and everyone who can imagine a Utopian Aquatic World for future humans to live in. The participants were expected to create futuristic, water-based habitats for humans to prosper and thrive on this aquatic/amphibian home that would be flood resilient.

Participants had to create these aquatic/amphibian dwellings to be self-sustainable, movable, replicable, environmentally sound and would be able to survive the harshest seas and weathers of the world. The most inventive and resilient design proposals made it to the top entries of this competition.

Volume Zero thanks all the participating members and teams for their entries in the Aquatecture 2018 Architecture Competition!
