Five-star survival: The floating Ark hotel that will protect you against a Noah-style flood
It boasts light, airy rooms, plenty of greenery and no doubt the service would be five-star.
But
the main reason guests would flock to the Ark Hotel would be its
ability to save them from a natural disaster of Noah proportions.
That's because the futuristic building has been designed to withstand floods caused by rising sea levels.
The floating behemoth is a 'biosphere' conceived as a safe, self-contained haven.
Branded as a green, self-sustaining environment for guests, the shell-shaped hotel
would withstand tidal waves and other natural disasters.
Alexander Remizov, of Remistudio, has previously said: 'For architecture, there are two major concerns.
'The first is maintenance of security and precautions against extreme environmental conditions and climate changes. The second one is protection of natural environment from human activities.
'The Ark is an attempt to answer the challenges of our time. Provision is made for an independent life support system.
'All
the plants are chosen according to compatibility, illumination and
efficiency of oxygen producing, and with the aim of creating an
attractive and comfort space.
'Through the transparent roof there is enough light for plants and for illuminating the inner rooms"
I bet this will be another vacation home for the rich and mighty,politicians and elites
