Cities have historically developed along shorelines, but rising sea levels may require new solutions to sustain life at the water’s edge. EDEN uses biomimicry to reimagine buoyancy with an artificial "blubber" flooring system, inspired by large sea creatures like manatees. The design also incorporates an agricultural program for harvesting, crushing, and fermenting grapes within the flooring. The vessel’s wooden frame is held together by tensioned steel cables, creating a harmonious structure that immerses its occupants in a hyper-sensorial and "intoxicating" experience.
