Presently, more than 70 percent of the planet is covered in water. As Earth’s temperature rises, more land will submerge. With that in mind, architects and engineers from the Japanese firm Shimizu conceived of the Ocean Spiral, an underwater eco-city designed for deep-sea living. The 15-km-long structure winds down from the ocean’s surface to the seafloor and is topped with a 500-meter sphere.
It’s a wildly innovative idea, but the designers think the project makes sense, since deep-sea cities would be less vulnerable to tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes and rising tides. The spiral would “dramatically improve the sustainability of human society on the earth,” they write in their proposal.
