I start...My degree project is quite close to yours.<br />I started the searching two years ago ,slowly. <br />In my coutry we have huge river floods, and now like in every 2 years... so i coudn't wait any more as an architecture student. <br />It would be nice to have some contact from you and just share some view.noemihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12211540757779331355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9061386511026193035.post-18463407312499878902011-04-20T17:12:10.102-07:002011-04-20T17:12:10.102-07:00One must address the question, “How will the city ...One must address the question, “How will the city float at all?” The intuitive answer is that the density of the city will have to be less than that of water. This is usually a problem because as cities grow the population density increases and there is an increase of mass within an area over time. Ultimately, when the density of the city exceeds water’s density the city will sink.<br /><br />Another matter of interest is how the city will deal with inertial effects. It is common knowledge that whenever someone steps towards one direction on a small canoe the canoe begins to move in the opposite direction. All this happens because of Newton’s law of inertia, which states that the conservation of momentum under the absence of forces is constant. On larger scales cities will have some motion if there is nothing to anchor it.Fiat Veritashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16401019509446087219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9061386511026193035.post-31368063104497883412011-03-20T15:34:34.577-07:002011-03-20T15:34:34.577-07:00I am blown away by your ambitious ideas of the flo...I am blown away by your ambitious ideas of the floating city. <br /><br />You are using the artichtiure skills that you have to helped build a better world and fight against natural disasters. I am so genuinely glad to know that there are people out there to create buildings to last and benefit the people.<br /><br />I took the class earthquakes last semester at USC, and our professor showed us pictures of poorly constructed building just to get fast money, but knowing that it would not last. They would use the cheapest materials, not wrap the wire around the rebar enough, sometimes not use rebar at all, or just poorly constructed. Theres areas are poorer countries that do not have much building regulations, or mostly people that do not regulate them. Thousand of people would die, just because someone did not feel like putting the effort or little more money to make the appropriate building. <br /><br />I love your idea. You're taking situations of natural disasters that we cannot control, but do our best to save as much as possible. <br /><br />I think it is amazing.Ranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03016505913887542896noreply@blogger.com
