And you'll be rewarded! With Prestigeous Prizes, and international acclaim!
But only if you win the Design Competition!
But only if you win the Design Competition!
The goals of the Floating Island Project is to build an island out of Bio-remediation matrix and sail it to an oceanic dead zone, like the one in the Gulf of Mexico, where it will serve as a floating research platform, able to suport ongoing projects with its own habititions, aqua-culture, and solar/wind power generation. it should even be able to support some agriculture, and a couple of Palm trees!
It will look like an Atoll, with a lagoon in the middle, where its support, resupply vessel can moor.
I hope that the habitiations will be designed by a competition directed by Architecture for Humanity.
Some of the research might be conducted by Nova Southeastern University Oceanographic Center.
I hope to do it all in conjunction with Myoo Create, The Art of Exploration, and WingsWorldQuest, too.
But first I need a model, and since this will be a project that will involve a lot of people, including students, I figured it would be fun to get people invloved from the bottom up, with a design competition!
Anybody interested please contact me directly, or go find out more detatils on the Discoverer Scientific Charters facebook page. Ill be posting a lot of info there.
Including a list of the exciting prizes that will go to the winner!
The deadline is January 28, 2012. I hope we get some exciting designs.
All the best,
Eric
