Floating Green Micro-Cities

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The SESU Seastead Ocean Society is Tomorrow's Utopia

— July 14, 2009 — Eco
This floating ocean society, the SESU Seastead, was created by Estonian architect Marko Järvela of Hirvesoo Arhitektibüroo.

The utopia not only caters to basic needs and being very environmentally-friendly, but as also designed to allow "soft values" such as frequent meditation to flourish.

The SESU Seastead (which stands for SElf-SUstained seastead) is a micro-city on the ocean integrating eco-friendly features like solar energy harvesting and plenty of vegetation which not only nourishes people living on the SESU Seastead, but plays a role in climate regulation.

As land is quickly being filled with architecture and real estate is popping up everywhere, TSI is looking at the 70% of the planet covered in water and seeking innovative ways to create sustainable living environments.
