Project ARK by Remi Studios
Hello folks!
I know, I have been away for a while! But this year I am back and on fire, wanting to share new things with you.
Starting with this beautiful project, by Remi Studios, that I saw in Design Stories Social Network.
Sustainable architecture at its best.
” The project was developed based on the experience of “Architecture of catastrophes” of the International Union of Architects. He was nominated for the World Architecture Festival WAF – 2010 and received his third degree on the results of the First International Festival of innovative technologies in architecture and construction of “Green Project – 2010″ held in November this year in Moscow, in the “conceptual projects.”

There is more information on the project on Archdaily. Alison Furuto writes:
“The Ark”, which is designed as a bioclimatic building with independent life-support systems…(that) can be built on land or sea. Remizov envisioned this project as the house for the future which can be constructed quickly and withstand environmental disasters through its structural integrity.”
