# Marine Inspired Architecture The Fleet of Putrajaya, Malaysia By Ayman | Published 2008-03-29 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fleet-of-putrajaya References: [europaconcorsi](http://www.europaconcorsi.com/db/pub/scheda.php?id=20477) The first time I visited [Putrajaya](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Putrajaya), Malaysia I was blown away by the futuristic and creative architecture. Putrajaya was created a few years ago as the new federal administrative centre of Malaysia, about 30km south of Kuala Lumpur and close to [Cyberjaya](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberjaya), the IT center of Malaysia. Putrajaya is about to add a new astonishing residential project: **The Fleet of Putrajaya** in the Putrajaya Waterfront Development area. The sustainable design is unique with marine-inspired structures that resemble ships and draw from the country's traditional Islamic designs. The project is arranged in a permeable, radiating block of bioclimatic architecture. The project is from Italian *Studio Nicoletti Associati* and Malaysian architects *Hijjas Kasturi Associates*, who provided the masterplan of Putrajaya. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sustainable Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in this trend include the development of new eco-friendly building materials and energy-efficient construction techniques. - **Bioclimatic Architecture:** This trend presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in the integration of smart technologies for energy management and climate control in buildings. - **Marine-inspired Structures:** The use of marine-inspired design elements can lead to disruptive innovation in the development of unique and visually striking architectural aesthetics. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture:** The architecture industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by incorporating sustainable design principles and bioclimatic architecture in their projects. - **Construction:** The construction industry can leverage disruptive innovation by adopting new techniques and materials inspired by marine design to create visually appealing and eco-friendly structures. - **Smart Technology:** The smart technology industry can contribute to disruptive innovation by developing solutions that enhance the energy efficiency and climate control of bioclimatic buildings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tropical Waterfront Revivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jesselton-docklands.md) - [Upcoming Architectural Floating Parks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/centroparco.md) - [Biodiverse Floating Housing Developments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floating-neighborhood.md) - [Floating City Networks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/justinian-khoo.md) - [Recycled Plastic Floating Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mast.md) - [Modern Floating Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pura-vida-floating-home.md) - [Water Flow-Inspired Art Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanhai-arts-center.md) - [Digital Marine Habitats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nereid-marine-habitat.md) - [Captivating Stilt-House Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mast-1.md)
