Twinmotion Boats Pack 1

[Perpetuo Carlson]

MandoXie imagines humanity moving into ship-like floating cities covered with trees to escape rising sea levels in this proposal, which is a finalist in Dezeen's Redesign the World competition powered by Twinmotion.

Almost half of the surface of each city would be covered with trees to provide food and a pleasant, shaded park-like environment for citizens. A freshwater lake at the centre of the park would supply people with clean water.

"The design is composed of two abandoned aircraft carriers. All infrastructure and homes are composed of light, prefabricated structures, with separate living areas and leisure areas. I think this is the best solution to deal with future disasters.

"Each Titan Ark is accompanied by more than ten fishing boats, which provide a source of staple food. The hull is equipped with LED lights, which can simulate moonlight at night to gather fish close by.

"Forty-five per cent of the deck area is dedicated to greenery. In the future, there will be good soilless cultivation methods. Trees will be able to grow larger, with thicker leaves, and can produce fruits in different seasons. Titan Ark is also equipped with small farms for agriculture.

These were assessed by a judging panel comprising White Arkitekter CEO Alexandra Hagen, structural engineer Hanif Kara, speculative architect Liam Young, Twinmotion product marketing manager Belinda Ercan and Dezeen founder and editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs, which selected 15 proposals as finalists to be published on Dezeen.
