Due to global warming, ice glaciers are melting therefore causing ocean levels rising. Vincent Callebaut, an architect who is obviousely concerned about the future of man kind, came up with this illustration called Lilypad. It is really meant to be a floating city of 50,000 residents. Who loves you? Vincent Callebaut does!

Well it sure looks fantastic as a piece of art! Although to be truly valid beyond a pretty picture, structurally he should have done some research on oceanic structures and engineering. That thing would be flooded and sink if not destroyed after the first major storm. Excellent artwork though! But for the engineering aspect of your profession, stick to land.
