The fantastical "Noah's Ark" designed by Aleksandar Joksimovic and Jelena Nikolic envisions a series of interconnected, floating islands that can house species displaced by climate change.. ImageDesigned by Aleksandar Joksimovic, Jelena Nikolic; image via eVolo
Belgian architect Vincent Callebaut proposes recycling ocean trash as building materials for his futuristic floating cities.

Architect Vincent Callebaut's "Lilypad" project is a multi-use, floating ecopolis that is intended to house up to 50,000 climate refugees per floating structure.
Copenhagen-based firm SLA's "The Soul of Nørrebro" is an integrated climate adaption project that transforms the city's Hans Tavsens Park into a rainwater catching basin that will help irrigate the city and combat urban heat island effect.. Image© SLA / Beauty and the Bit

Also by Vincent Callebaut's firm, the "Dragonfly" project proposes a vertical urban farm in the heart of New York City's Hudson River.
Tredje Natur's porous "Climate Tile" collects rainwater from roofs and sidewalks and reintroduces the water into the city circuit, watering plants and alleviating pressures on the city's sewage system.
DeltaSync's floating geodesic domes propose an alternative space for human habitation and food production.
