   A student from Thailand, Panit Limpiti has proposed design for a
   skyscraper
   to be located in Omval, Amsterdam, that will cater to the region’s worst
   case scenario situation, a flood.

   It’s called Permaculture Floating Tower. With the ability to withstand
   high
   water levels, and through the design of a floating landscape, this
   building
   will stand strong, no matter the weather forecast.

   The building will utilize desalination to create drinking water, and will
   harness wave energy. A bio digester cooks gas to also produce energy.

   Bio diesel is also produced on site. The building is comprised of
   residential units and an urban park.

   So, how does a floating tower stay up? I did not see the full "stable
   floating boat shape" anywhere
