Futuristic Ark hotel will save Residents from Noah-style floods also

Advance bookings for the futuristic Ark Hotel have already started even
before final approvalof the design. The designers have presented minute details of the residential hotel which will be able to protect its residents from from a natural disaster of Noah proportions.

The futuristic building is designed to withstand floods like Tsunamies.
The floating behemoth is a 'biosphere' conceived as a safe, self-contained haven. Branded as a green, self-sustaining environment for guests, the shell-shaped hotel would withstand tidal waves and other natural disasters.

The architects and designers are of the opinion that this master piece
have arches and cables that evenly distribute weight so it is also invulnerable to earthquakes. The solve the problems of power and water, architects have come out with a viable solution that it use solar panels and a rainwater collection system to provide inhabitants with power and water.

The greenhouse-like environment also provides for lush vegetation to help with air quality and provide food sources. Because of the see-through structure enough daylight is filtered through internal rooms to reduce the need for lighting. And to ensure quality of light, the frame is protected with a self-cleaning layer.

The Ark has been designed by Russian firm Remistudio with the assistance of the International Union of Architects' program Architecture For Disaster Relief.

Alexander Remizov, of Remistudio, has previously said: “For architecture, there are two major concerns. The first is maintenance of security and precautions against extreme environmental conditions and climate changes. The second one is protection of natural environment from human activities. The Ark is an attempt to answer the challenges of our time. Provision is made for an independent life support system.”

He further added: “All the plants are chosen according to compatibility, illumination and efficiency of oxygen producing, and with the aim of creating an attractive and comfort space. Through the transparent roof there is enough light for plants and for illuminating the inner rooms.”
