So there’s this thing called amphibious housing, and it’s very neat. Basically, they’re made to work with the water levels. Similar to floating houses, their designed to float as water rises. They are most usually connected to mooring posts to limit the motion of the water as well as make sure the house doesn’t sail away. Obviously, they’re ideal for floods and are being constructed more and more in places like the Netherlands, New Orleans, and the UK. They weren’t designed by wild smart architects either, just a few people who sat down and did some calculations and then modified their homes. They’re so cheap and simplistic to make that the scale can range anywhere from a single domicile to, in theory, a whole floating city. This really reminded me of the situation with Kiribati and how a development like this might be able to help.
