Floating City For Haiti Proposed By Architects Post-Earthquake (PHOTOS)
First Posted: 01- 5-11 09:36 AM | Updated: 01- 5-11 10:36 AM
While Haiti is still picking up the pieces after last year's devastating earthquake, the good news is that fascinating ideas about how to rebuild the island nation with a safer, more sustainable infrastructure are still pouring in. One of the latest proposals, from architect E. Kevin Schopfer and Tangram 3DS, caught our eye with its vision of Haiti reborn with a beautiful floating city. Dubbed Harvest City, the collection of islands would be a fully-functioning community where 30,000 residents could grow crops, promote industry and start a new life.
It's been almost a year now since Haiti was ravaged by a horrific earthquake, and while its citizens are still picking up the pieces, the good news is that there is no shortage of creative ideas about how to rebuild an even better, more sustainable infrastructure for the country. One of these ideas comes from architect E. Kevin Schopfer and Tangram 3DS, who envision the new Haiti to have a floating city on which people could produce food and promote industry. Called Harvest City, the collection of islands would be a fully functioning community of 30,000 residents based on the principle of Arcology (a mix of architecture and ecology), and could be a key player in Haiti's recovery.

Harvest City would be a place for Haitians to live and start their lives again, but it would also be a place for agriculture and jobs to thrive.

Two-thirds of the city would be dedicated to farming and one-third to light industry.

The city would be composed of a collection of tethered, floating modules that span a diameter of 2 miles.

Divided into four zones interconnected by a linear canal system, neighborhoods would be made up of four story housing complexes.

The floating islands of Harvest City will be secured to the sea bed by a cable designed to weather hurricanes and typhoons.

A low profile, low draft dead weight capacity and perimeter wave attenuators are some factors that Schopfer incorporated into the city to ensure it would be safe from storms.

A breakwater using the concrete rubble debris from the earthquake would also be constructed to add to the city’s stability.

In addition to being a new beginning for the people of Haiti, it is Schopfer's hope that Harvest City will be established as a "charter city” to be used as an example of a new and advanced economic model specifically developed for struggling nations.
