Hello Dimitri

Welcome on the forums - for plans of the Rion - Antirion Bridge check this link: http://www.iitk.ac.in/nicee/wcee/article/1115.pdf

The rion-antirion bridge pylons are plates of 70 m diameter floating out - so they are very much a basic model for a plate or stadion seastead .

. . . . ,

The basics of the idea of a plate or stadion seastead are discussed on this thread:     http://concretesubmarine.activeboard.com/t43963853/plate-seastead-plate-floating-element-for-ocean-colonization/

There is no doubth that ocean colonization will come - it is also obvious that it can not be done in traditional shipbuilding technology (steel pate and frame building ) due to the high cost of this technology. Seasteading can only be achieved by adapting civil engineering technology towards the waterspace.

Only this way the cost per living space squaremeter will match land housing costs and allow a transfer of "housing units" to the waterspace at a reasonable cost.

Plate building stands out as the most economical way to create "real estate squaremters" at sea.

This is because in a plate seastead you encose the space only on one side (the bottom plate) while in honeycomb and shell construction you enclose the space  ALL sides.

Each cell of the structure has 4 side walls bottom plate and deck - so 6 walls - a plate of the same size of this element would only have 1 curved bottom plate so spare 5 walls - which is a major cost and weight reduction.
