AZ Island, A Floating World Concept
I’m used to see all kind of futuristic projects on the web, but that one is really something outrageous. that titanic project for a high-tech, artificial island capable of movement was thought up by architect Jean-Philippe Zopponi. I don’t expect to see that project to soon, but whether the AZ Island eventually sees the light of day, it will measure 400 metres enlarged by 300 metres wide and be able to welcome up to 10,000 passengers. The ovoid island’s shape and size - 29 floors high and a surface area equivalent to 4 football fields - will necessarily limit its speed (4 times slower than a cruise ship). Obviously, the island will be too large to berth. A boat or helicopter will therefore be needed to access its cabin; for that reason, a landing pad and marina have been planned. AZ Island should plus be able to resist 20-metre-high waves, as well as hurricanes. I don’t even want to imagine how something like that will be managed, is something just to much for my imagination.
