水是生命中渊源不断的自然元素，给予地球生命，并让生命得以延续。虽然人类生活在陆地上，但我们与水的关系仍然至关重要，它是人类生存的必需品。

受到气候变化的影响，全球变暖，有毒物质排放增加，并且人口数量急速上升和土地资源稀缺等问题正逐步困扰着人类。许多国家遭受着海平面上升的影响，现在我们更需要着眼于未来，通过设计的方式，应对地球上的不断变化。

今天，“智慧城市”的相关讨论范围已经非常广泛，解决生态危机，促进未来的发展，以及两者之间的关系，这些都是明显存在的问题。

水作为覆盖地球71％的元素，也是未来生命的象征，因为有水的存在，人类的生命才得以延续。在水上创造生活空间，很快就会成为人类生存的需求。

“北极地区发生的状况，必将得到解决”，这句话来自绿色和平组织关于北极冰川融化的报道。

Water – an element in nature that life is constantly surrounded by; an element that has given birth to life on Earth and continues to support it. Although we made our shift to land, our bond with water still remains significant as ever; it is an element that is a basic necessity for our survival.
The life on Earth is today plagued by adverse climate changes, global warming, the increasing toxic emissions, rising population, and scarce land resources. With various countries, such as Holland , fighting rising water levels for decades and with the current trends, it is now time to brace ourselves against the unseen future and design solutions to cope with the ever-changing community on Planet Earth.
Today, the discourse of ‘smart cities’ has overtaken every conversation discussing the future of architecture. It is a glaring question as to how are we going to address the equation between the contrasting aspects of ecological crises and technological advancement for building our futures.
Covering 71% of the Earth, it is now time to look at the water again as a harbinger of life in the near future; a place where human life can again thrive in its original glory. Creating living spaces on water will soon become a need to survive as a
“What happens in the Arctic, does not stay in the Arctic” Extract – Greenpeace report on melting ice in Arctic paradigms of nature.

The Challange
We believe that architects and designers possess the necessary tools and skill set to formulate comprehensive design concepts that have the innate capabilities to help adapt to an issue that is both, multifaceted and enormous.
We invite architects, designers, engineers, teachers, thinkers, students and everyone who can imagine a Utopian Aquatic World for the future humans to live in. The participants should focus on creating solutions that enable people to live safely and adapt comfortably to the impending climate change, thus securing living spaces for our future generations. The competition challenges the participants to create futuristic, water-based habitat for humans to prosper and thrive on this aquatic/amphibian Home that is flood resilient. The participants are to design an aquatic/ amphibian Home that can house 20 individuals with spaces to live in (sleep, rest, sanitize, work and interact). The spaces in the program can support the following: Relaxation Interaction Food Generation Food Storage Water and Energy Generation The participants are free to think and create their own spaces as a part of the program for the challenge. The aquatic/amphibian dwelling should be self-sustainable, environmentally sound and should be able to survive the harshest seas and weathers of the world. The dwelling can be movable by itself or can use an external agent for changing its location around the world. The participants are to design thinking of a utopian future for humanity on water, one that can be replicated around the world in any number.
