Floating Hotel Able To Survive Global Warming





Russian architect Alexander Remizov has designed a hotel that could withstand earthquakes and floods.



Called ‘The Ark’, the floating hotel is self-sufficient, environmentally-friendly, and is able to save about 10,000 people.



The windows take full advantage of solar energy, and a specially designed wind turbine at the top captures wind energy.



There are even plants and other greenery in The Art, so that oxygen can be produced and the interior areas will get livened up by them.



According to Remizov, the hotel of about 151,000 square feet will only take about three to four months to complete.
