Underwater Skyscraper.

Water-Scraper is an interesting approach to population growth, given that our seas are slowly rising.  It is a futuristic idea from eVolo’s 2010 skyscraper competition. Being a nerd and having seen every episode of SeaQuest and SeaLab 2021, I fully support this architecture design.  It looks like a giant jelly fish and each scraper is self sustaining. Thanks Inhabitat!

10x10 House

the 10x10 house, “an extremely affordable structure built using sandbags and timber. It requires no tools or advanced construction knowledge and can be built for slightly more than $6,000, while still presenting a striking, modern design. [..] In addition to utilizing inexpensive and locally accessible building materials, which required not even a single electrical outlet to put together, the designers turned to the community to build the houses”. video. winner of the currystone design prize, more.
