The floating colony - no.arch
The great ecosystem of the bay of Cadiz, in less than 100 years, would have been lost due to global warming and with all its biodiversity. How to save the natural park of the bay of cadiz?

I propose a colony of floating islands that develops an ecosystem on the surface, for farmers, birds, mammals and plant species that formed the natural park. It also develops a subsurface ecosystem that protects marine biodiversity.The duality of two worlds on iceberg islands. A project in order to create life, not architecture

I try to approach it not only as a human, but as a bird, a mammal, a reptile or a fish. Resulting in iceberg islands emerging in the sea as a tangle of floating ecosystem. The islands are divided into 4 types, responding to the needs of energy and supply, agriculture and aquaculture, social activity and recreation of the natural park.

Connected by rationed bridges, hollow inside to float, performing different functions and supplied by a wave system of underwater buoys, the colony is developed in order to create life, not architecture
