Transformation.

Tried many ways from double hulls to other wave breakers. the most effective way to minimise waves i found was the method used in naval architecture. The stabilising method used in aircraft landing ones that are situated at seas. The hulls have horizontal fins at the bottom with a weight to reduce the movement, making the wave effects break and making it harder for the structure to move.

Section of floating hull group 1.

This is a pendulum floating structure that uses recycled concrete waste such as concrete and metal as a counterweight to balance the buoyancy. Due to the infrastructure development, large quantities of construction waste is produced everywhere. This is extremely viable for the long run.

The structure also provides a lighter storage space for commercial and residential storage uses. The stabiliser fins reduces the wave effects even more. The shell is completely made of fiberglass (recycled plastic) with an internal metal structure. This metal structure can also be continued to the corals underneath. Metal is known to progress coral growth in coral-farming.

Further development and adjustments underway on the initial layout and theme of the floating community .

During this workshop , we determined the location most ideal for placing our floating community .

After that a swot analysis was done to determine the factors we can use in our design and the factors in site that we need to provide solutions for .

Furthermore , the economical livelihood of community was determined . Our group landed on the idea of Agri tourism , focusing on the aqua agriculture aspects we plan to develop in this community

The theme of our community is ' vilu veshi' (working progress )

We also developed a initial layout for the spaces and facilities required in the area , in regards to the relativity distance with the areas on the island .

Will be posting more details on the above works , as the masterplan design develops .
