TROPOLISM

More floating houses from the world of North Central Europe. This time, a Dutch solution to a flooding problem. Really, who else would have achieved this, with built example to boot? No concept models here, these are real.

Dig deeper in the article, and you'll see some pretty hideous (aka Dutch PoMo) house designs. However, it's like having a floating house off the coast of Sayville, or in the marshes of Metarie, so we're really looking at the urban concept here. What if all the homes in the 9th Ward had been able to float off their pilings?
