Justinian Khoo Envisioned Clusters of Floating Cities Called The Whales
Elena Rahman — November 2, 2021 — Eco
Justinian Khoo, the second finalist in Dezeen's Redesign the World competition, proposed a network of floating cities "to provide freedom for nature on land." The cluster of envisioned cities, called The Whales, resemble pods of large marine mammals.
The proposed cities would run entirely on renewable energy, which will be harnessed from the sea, wind, and sun. Inhabitants of the cities would mainly use fish farming as a source of protein-rich food. The waste will be used to fertilize crops on floating farms. Inspired by the ocean's largest mammals, the floating cities are designed for human survival amidst a climate-changed planet. The project also aims to preserve the earth by removing human dwellings from the land.
