If we go really fancy we could have something like a train knuckle. It is a instant connection for tension/compression forces, compressed air, electric, and all you need in a train wagon maintaining flexibility between units. The monaco breakwater features such a thing to connect it to land. The ba...

There are probably a couple “module size sweetspots” among those: 1)car transport size – crane free (represented by a cube model) 2) Bed pot size (represented by the sleeping box below) 3) Container size (represented by a standard mobil home) 4) house size (represented by the concrete float coast g...

We can not expect to create a unified opinion on how a modular island should be built – it must include the possibility of a link together and come together of a wide variety of modules, seasteads, boats, ships, houseboats, floats etc… so we probably should imagine it more as a floating marina, or harbo...

Let`s check on a flat raft platform of 14x14m this would be more or less 200 blocks (cubes) of 1x1m each. If you build it in blocks and raft them up you can do so a hundred miles from the waterfront – transport them with a car trailer – float them out from every boat dock. A 14×14 structure built in one piece ne...

floating city, as world population grows a billion per decade, costal space becomes crowded, the inevitable solution - floating cities, oriented to the ocean, following the ancient example of VENICE and Cartago in their business development model.

I was thinking more of a normal concrete floating breakwater – link two of them in a V shape point the tip against the waves – you will enjoy a calm waterspace inside the V and the whole thing might even navigate at a acceptable speed. Compare the seaworthyness of such a structure with KON TIKI and keep in m...

The beauty of the used houseboat solution is that you get a floating living space that is conveniently equipped with everything you need. The downside it is only useable in protected water – means not on open ocean. So how can we make it open ocean capeable in a secondary building process? Building a co...

When we talk about rafting up (small or big modules) we are basicly talking about assembling precast concrete elements to a bigger structure. I have always been a fan of looking around in standard engineering what kind of solutions you see there for similar tasks. Obviously none of the structures th...
