Ark hotel in China is one of amazing floating hotels in the world, Ark
floating hotel in China designed by Remistudio office for architecture,
it's creative hotel building designed for many reasons. Lets know more about it :
In response to concerns about climate change and rising sea levels, the
Russian office Remistudio has designed a hotel conceptual with the
ability to withstand extreme floods. The building Ark mode has a
structure that allows it to float independently on the water surface.
The Ark was also designed to be a bioclimatic space with self-contained
breathing apparatus.
The project was designed in conjunction with the International Union of
Architects in its program "Architecture for Disaster Relief"
(Architecture for disaster relief) and can be built to regions with
different climates and seismically dangerous because the underground is a
shell structure, no angles.

The system has loads of arches allowing redistribution of weight in case
of an earthquake. The intelligent design of the building allows an
optimal relationship between its volume and its outer surface, providing
further energy efficiency. Its prefabricated frame also allows quick
construction

The Ark is an energy system itself and the way it is convenient to
install solar panels at an optimum angle to the sun. Its dome, on top,
collect the hot air that accumulates seasonally to provide uninterrupted
power supply for the whole complex. The heat from the environment -
air, water or ground - is also used for this purpose.

Inside the Ark incorporates large amount of vegetation that is
cultivated through the light captured by its cover, like a greenhouse.
The staggered balconies serve as social and recreational areas, and open
layout allows the building to be adapted to different functions
depending on how it is necessary and can be installed on the ground
without any problems.

The structural soundness of the Ark is provided by wooden arches
compression and tension steel cables. The frame is covered by a special
foil ethyltetrafluoroethylene or ETFE. It is a strong metal sheet is
automatically cleaned transparent, recyclable, durable, economically
efficient and lighter than glass. They also serve as solar collectors to
heat water, and channels to collect rainwater from the roof.
