Floating and under water structures have just raised the hope for the future. While the ‘Underwater City’ in Bulgaria opens up the doors for underwater construction, the Floating Aerohotel by Alexander Asadov is a marvelous architectural design that will be a landmark for the floating structures of the future. Featuring the 200 meters wide central body sitting on various beams, resembling a bicycle wheel with supporting arms, the Aerohotel will enclose cafes, restaurants and winter gardens, alongside the key hotel. Visitors will be able to trip the hotel either by water, climbing one of the foundation arms, or by air, using the airstrips on the deck.
Design Status:
The Aerohotel, at the moment, is an under construction project that is looking to improve upon its ecological value.
Usability:
With rising fears of coastal areas submerging in the waters due to increasing global warming, resulting in heavy population dislodgment, the concepts of Aerial hotel and floating structures and islands are some of the most innovative (rather fantastic) options available for future commercial and residential architecture.
