‘Lilypad,’ Architecture for climate refugees


The futuristic vision of award winning designer and architect, Vincent Callebaut.

Set in a brief for 2100, the ‘lily pad’ project is aimed at combating rising sea levels, accommodating ”ecological refugees”

“It is a true amphibian half aquatic and half terrestrial city, able to accommodate 50,000 inhabitants and inviting the biodiversity to develop its fauna and flora around a central lagoon of soft water collecting and purifying the rain waters.”
