Abstract
- Landscarcityhasbeenamajorconcerninmetropolitancitiesandislandcountries.Theissue is being addressed by adopting skyscrapers that allow vertical growth of cities, but vertical growth has its own limitations and hence there has been collective effort for developing new habitats for humans. Considering the recent trends of global warming and rising sea levels there is a driving need for floating habitats for continuity of human species. Float houses are the future. One such habitat is floating houses that can float on the surface of water thereby providing large space for human habitation. Pontoon type floating houses consist of a giant pontoon tied to a mooring system that keeps the system stable. The float platforms can be used for various purposessuchasrefugee camp after earthquake eventsas the system is inherently base isolated.
