Floating & Amphibious Construction
Buildings and infrastructure designed to rise with floodwaters or remain permanently afloat.
Flood-adaptive foundations (amphibious) and floating structures (pontoons, barges) enable resilient development in delta regions, tidal zones, and areas facing sea-level rise. Examples include Dutch floating neighborhoods, Maldives floating cities, and Vietnamese amphibious housing, blending traditional knowledge with modern engineering.
