International Architects Unveil Plans for Futuristic “Floating City” 

Ahead of this year’s Biennale Architettura, an international team of architects and designers, led by Italian firm Luca Curci Architects and UK-based Tim Fu Design, has released renderings of their proposal for a sustainable floating city with the ability to house 50,000 residents, reports the New York Post. Designed “with the support of Artificial Intelligence,” Floating City will feature “25 acres of interconnected platforms” and various neighborhoods, each containing “hi-rise and low-rise buildings surrounded by a membrane of photovoltaic glasses which provide electricity to the whole floating system and make it energy-independent,” says its press release. 

Though the location for the proposal hasn’t been pinpointed and is generically stated as “worldwide,” the sustainable community also aims to be a tourist destination, complete with hotels, shopping centers, and other attractions, all accessible by sea or air. The concept for Floating City will debut in full during the Biennale Architettura 2023, “The Laboratory of the Future” at the Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello, and in other prestigious venues in Venice from May 20 to November 26, 2023.
