THE FLOATING university

As of now, there are 7 billion people living on Earth, by the year 2030, we will be 9 billion. This increase in population will force us to invest in new territories, but this time with more respect for their ecosystems. It is with this perspective in mind that we created the Floating University designed for coastlines, floating on the sea. Its form is inspired by soap bubbles. Each different faculty is organized in seperate bubbles, connected by a big shell to the principle common buble. The main bubble contains the arrival hall, the cafeteria, the gym and all the administration facilities. The big shell (half-transparent to let the sunlight enter) creates a large outdoor space for sports and activities on campus.
