An architect has revealed brilliant plans of making the world’s first ever underwater skyscraper. As per the plans the extraordinary 'oceanscrapers' can hold about 20,000 people, who can live and work inside them.
The design of the skyscrapers looks like a giant floating jellyfish, said Vincent Callebaut. It is an eco-friendly structure that produces its own energy and heat without even using the fossil fuels.
The underwater eco-village will have homes, offices and workshops, science laboratories, sea farms, agricultural areas, shared orchards with grass and food gardens.
Callebaut said he designed the self-sufficient oceanscrapers in such a way that humans can easily live in. It will also help to reduce the carbon dioxide emission.
The glass structure design’s entrance and docks are found at the surface and then they spiral down to depths of up to 1,000 meters.
Fresh drinking water inside the oceanscrapers will be produced by a power plant, which uses the in-depth pressure to counteract osmotic pressure and separate the water from salt.
Air inside the eco-village will be renewed naturally by convection through wind chimneys found in the tower or by an oxygen station.
Callebaut said food source for the people living inside this eco-village will be coral reefs and farming fields and fishing. Fruits and vegetable can be grown inside the eco-village and fishing in the ocean is also possible, he said.
Presented in the form of a letter, penned by a fictional teenage 'aquanaut' and dated 24 December 2065, the letter read, “When my grandfather tells me about his terrestrial way of life of time, it seems totally preposterous today. They were consuming city like a commodity rather than common good that should be nurtured in symbiosis with nature”.
