Nicholas Roberts, Permaculture.coop
A student from Thailand, Panit Limpiti has proposed design for a skyscraper to be located in Omval, Amsterdam, that will cater to the region’s worst case scenario situation, a flood.

It’s called Permaculture Floating Tower. With the ability to
withstand high water levels, and through the design of a floating
landscape, this building will stand strong, no matter the weather
forecast.

The building will utilize desalination to create drinking water, and will harness wave energy. A bio digester cooks gas to also produce energy.

Bio diesel is also produced on site. The building is comprised of residential units and an urban park.

So, how does a floating tower stay up? I did not see the full "stable floating boat shape" anywhere
in those pages.
