''Land on water'' מציע חזון לחיים סתגלניים ועמידים באקלים על פני המים שפותח על ידי הסטודיו הדני לאדריכלות ימית ''MAST'' בתמיכת הוברט רומברג וסטודיו המיזם ''FRAGILE''; הפרוייקט מבטיח פתרון לבנייה של כמעט כל דבר על המים; מבתים צפים בסיאטל, לאתרי קמפינג צפים במרכז פיורד אוסלו ועד לסאונות על שפת הנהר של הובארט. ההכרה הגוברת בעליית פני הים וסיכון מוגבר להצפות עירוניות תרמו לעלייה חדה בעניין בבנייה על מים, אך הפתרונות הנוכחיים, כולל יסודות בטון מלאים בפוליסטירן ופונטונים מפלסטיק אינם גמישים, קשים להובלה ואינם ברי קיימא.

Land on water promises an entirely new, sustainable and highly flexible solution. How it works.. flat-pack floating foundations The system is based on simple, flat-pack modules made from reinforced, recycled plastic that can be easily transported around the globe and assembled into countless configurations. Providing a secure floating foundation for building housing and infrastructure.
The system was inspired by gabion construction, an ancient technology which utilises mesh cages filled with rubble to create extremely sturdy, low cost foundations. In this case the concept is inverted; and the modular ‘cages’ are filled with locally sourced, upcycled floatation supporting the weight of any structure built on top. This has the unique advantage that floatation can be added or adjusted at any time if weight is added above.

Better for the environment above and below the water Land on water also promises a far better underwater environment than existing solutions. While steel and concrete foundations are commonly treated with toxic anti-fouling paints, Land on water provides an ideal habitat for fish and crustaceans and an anchor point for molluscs and seaweeds.
A building block for off-grid, floating communities Land on water promises a climate resilient and adaptable solution for the construction of new floating buildings but could also lead to an entirely new type of dynamic and organic off-grid floating community and an alternative to the large master-planned floating cities currently under development which repeat many of the mistakes made by urban planners in the middle of the 20th century.
