Abstract

Increasing urbanization and climate change are encouraging architects and engineers to use water as building land, adopting floating structures as a favorable solution. Floating architecture not only could help coastline cities to develop through seas and face sea level rise, but presents many other positive aspects among which particular interest has been developed in the concept of dynamic and energy self-sufficient cities.
The main object of the research is to define whether or not floating cities can realistically be energy self-sustained and in which capacity, by the use of today’s renewable energy production systems and by maintaining the positive aspects of a dynamic urbanism allowed by the presence of water.
