Smart village to adapt to changes in sea level rise inspired by the biomimetic structure of "Puffer Fish"

This system is able to lighten and rise to the surface of the water by increasing the volume and inflating its balloon skins with air during rain and tides when the sea level rises.

This system is also able to fill its balloon skins with water during Stormy and wavy conditions when there is a possibility of damage and movement of houses, by increasing weight and heaviness.

In stable conditions, the balloon skins are closed and the structure is similar to houses with flat roofs.

Puffer Village

Smart village to adapt to changes in sea level rise inspired by the biomimetic structure of "Pufferfish" A smart village that responds to the environment and adapts to it. Ganvie is a lake village in Benin, Africa, lying in Lake Nokoué. One of the problems of Ganvie Lake Village is the high water level. The best answer is "water for water". The biomimetic structure of pufferfish and its strategy to deal with enemies is by inflation with water or air. Inspired by this feature, we built smart homes that have the typological form of the area (inspired by the sand ring of pufferfish). when the rise water and tides, filled with air and come to the surface of the water, also in conditions Stormy and wavy, filled with water and heavy and...

The Skin Therapy Center

It is located in Ohio, USA, and my inspiration for interior design of the reception space is the voronoi pattern of the skin. The inner skin of the walls and roof are emulated from voronoi diagram (an irregular biomimetic pattern) as well as reception desk. This dynamic design leads to change the rigid environment of the healthy center to more positive ones. More
