Floating Boat
水耕之屋
Concept / 概念

Southeast Asia has suffered long-term flooding. Flooding is often delayed for a long time, affecting crop yields and residents' lives.
After observing the local buoyancy carrier, we designed a combined floating apartment. Use local building materials "bamboo". Combines natural ventilation design confrontate the hot tropical areas. The main axis of design for symbiosis with hydroponic fish and vegetables solves the problem of food shortage during floods. 

東南亞遭受長期水災,洪水經常停留很長一段時間,影響農作物產量和居民的生活。
所以觀察當地浮力載體後,設計出一棟結合可浮式住宅,並選用當地建材—竹子,達到環保並節省成本效果,最重要的是符合當地文化特色。 結合自然通風設計以對抗在炎熱的熱帶地區。以魚菜共生的設計主軸解決洪患時糧食缺乏的問題。而外型部分是以船屋加上竹筏以漂浮水桶漂浮為原型設計而成。



Challenge Faced

We need to analyze the characteristics of each type of bamboo and find the bamboo that fits the different parts.
In addition, we must collect a variety of weaving and processing techniques to complete the irregular special shape.



Unique Design

Our building materials use locally produced bamboo, which is not only environmentally friendly, but also very cheap.
However, in order to achieve self-sufficiency, we have designed a complete system of Hydroponic in the center of the bamboo house, and in a modular way, the yield of Hydroponic can achieve double efficiency.
Finally, according to the area of ​​the Hydroponic pool, the actual output and the number of people that can be supplied are derived.



Benefit to Society

We refer to the local cultural characteristics to decide to use bamboo as the main material, and analyze the characteristics of different bamboos, and apply the properties of bamboo to buildings.
The overall shape of the structure is also based on the traditional concept of boat house and bamboo pole, and then with the characteristics and aesthetics of bamboo to create a new style.
