We were charge to work with the engineer to come up with a masterplan for a 10 - square - kilometer floating island that can be build with the same engineering science . ”
The floating urban center is comprised of hexagonal modules that have both submerged and above piddle layers .

The city will have a enceinte dock for big ships so that the island remains well tie in with the out-of-door world .
