Aquatecture – Book by arch. Hristo Tritakov, PhD
Aquatecture is the science and art of the creation of objects related to the artificial remodelling of the natural environment.
Future Water Urbanism Scenario
There are 5 steps for future urban expansion of aquatecture considering nowadays urban sprawl of key coastal megalopolises.
Open to Ocean
The pavilion acts as an urban air purifier that uses microalgae and its function of highly effective photosynthesis.
Human Nest
The floating pavilion is constructed with the use of local materials in search of maximum continuity with the surrounding lake and forest environment.
Origami Houses
The aquatectural project “Origami” is a variable system of floating modules that creates many urban scenarios for living in close to water conditions.
Underwater INT
The experimental interior is based on concept of having minimal architectural form that creates fully functional underwater house.
Habitat Red Sands
An architectural experiment transforming the “Red Sands” fort into a lively and attractive society located entirely in water surroundings.
Park House
Park House recreates habitation conditions close to living on land making it possible for house owners to enjoy the attractive overwater views together with their own green recreation space.
Bunker House #2
An architectural concept of an “invisible” house situated on the Black Sea coast analogous to an existing nearby concrete monument.
Container Home
The floating home is predicted to be mass produced based on standard shipping container modules and has many variations for architecture and interior.
Bunker House #1
An architectural concept of a “dominant” house situated on the Black Sea coast analogous to an existing nearby concrete monument.
MIZU House
MIZU is a floating compact house protoype that combines minimalistic architecture and functional interior space.
W Residence
The interior design is based on the use of natural materials and color accents that emphasize on the overwater views and the immense aquatory.
Desalination Ship
The scarcity of drinking water near marine coasts can be solved by implementing an accessible and sustainable technology for desalinating seawater.
Nautical Micro Museum
Concept of a compact movable museum based on standartised sea shipping containers.
Kiribati Floating Houses
The concept proposes a new scenario of living in floating and amphibious buildings where people can find protection and optimally use ocean resources.
Deep Sea Research Center
An International Deep Ocean Science Research Center located on the deepest part on planet Earth and also the most unexplored one.
(under)Water Unit
The project represents a universal floating module with the following key characteristics: easy relocation, energy independence and carbon construction.
