Noah’s Ark is a Sustainable Floating City for a Post-Apocalyptic World

Inspired by Noah who saved all of the plants and animals from a global flood, <a href="http://www.evolo.us/competition/noah%E2%80%99s-ark-sustainable-city/" target="_blank">Aleksandar Joksimovic and Jelena Nikolic</a> envisioned a modern and sustainable ark capable of supporting all life in the event of a natural disaster. Their innovative water world would support life on terraced fields, grow food, collect rainwater, generate its own power and is engineered to withstand all forms of water-based disasters.

Aleksandar Joksimovic and Jelena Nikolic are from Serbia and designed <a href="http://www.evolo.us/competition/noah%E2%80%99s-ark-sustainable-city/" target="_blank">Noah's Ark</a>, a sustainable floating city, for the 2012 eVolo Skyscraper Competition.

Their vision was to design a safe and self-sustaining world that could be used in the event that natural disasters or other global catastrophes destroyed our homes.

Moving to the ocean, the duo envisioned we could begin again fresh and live off the ocean. Noah's Ark is a series of terraced rings with deep underwater towers that act as ballast to increase stability.

Solar, wind and ocean energy are harvested to generate power for the floating city, while rainwater is collected from all the surfaces for use within. Underwater, large turbines capture tidal energy and all of the surfaces are covered in artificial coral to encourage sea life.

Each Ark features residences, office, farmland, animal preserves, energy generation, and recreational spaces.

Multiple Ark's are connected together in a network through underwater cables.
