Water-scraper is a concept piece entered into the eVoIo Skyscraper Competition which shows a future where people live and work underwater. Harnessing wave, wind and solar power to generate electricity, it’s a future world I’d be thrilled to live in.
We’d also be able to grow food using aquaculture and hydroponic ways – though if it just tastes like algae I might stick with city living for a while longer. [Water-scraper via Inhabitat]

It would make the daily commute more interesting at least

Wednesday, March 10, 2010 at 10:06 AMTo build a city at the bottom of the sea! Insanity. But where else could we be free from the clutching hand of the Parasites? Where else could we build an economy that they would not try to control, a society that they would not try to destroy? It was not impossible to build Rapture at the bottom of the sea. It was impossible to build it anywhere else.

Undersea people go mad.

Wednesday, March 10, 2010 at 10:26 PMwhy don’t they just call it sea floor/sea bed/ocean floor scraper? seeing that is what it is. It doesn’t scrape the water, its goal is to scrape the bottom of the water…
