The Ark hotel project was designed by Russian firm Remi-studio
with the assistance of the International Union of Architects’ program
Architecture for Disasters Relief. The dome-shaped hotel is constructed
with wooden arches, steel cables and a “self-cleaning” plastic layer
instead of glass. The slinky-like Ark hotel can be adapted to suit both
land and water. It is built to stay afloat in the event of floods or
rising seas. The 14,000 square meter shell-like construction of arches
and cables distributes the weight evenly, meaning it can withstand
earthquakes. Daylight is filtered through to internal rooms due to the
hotel’s see-through structure, reducing the need for lighting. 09 More

Designed as: “an integrated energy system with an uninterpretable power supply using alternative energy sources”, the hotel uses solar panels and a rainwater collection system to provide inhabitants with power and water. It would be built around a central pillar connecting to roof-top wind generators and heat pumps, as well as to energy storage and thermal conversion units below.There will also be a “tornado” energy generating spiral at the top of the pillar.
