This book translates for the next generation the ongoing research into "buoyant urbanism" —the umbrella term that includes amphibious architecture (buildings that normally sit on the ground but float during floods) and floating buildings that enable us to build our cities on the water.
To celebrate this technological optimism of architecture and how it can change the way we build our cities, a number of famous architectural projects are referenced throughout the book. Please enjoy my son's drawings of these projects below.
