Ark Hotel Architechture

Ark Hotel of China is remarkable achievement of the interesting buildings in the world. Design by Russian company Remistudio,with the help of the International Union of Architects’ Architecture program for disaster relief. The Ark hotel is created just like a rainbow and is build with wooden arches, of steel cables and a layer of self-cleaning plastic rather than glass to provide it an unbelievable new look.It is designed is such a away that it uses UPS power to utilize alternative energy sources through solar panels and a system of rainwater harvesting to fulfill the needs of the people regarding power and water. 

The dome-shaped hotel is constructed with wooden arches, steel cables and a “self-cleaning” plastic layer instead of glass.Further, the 14,000 square metre shell-like construction of arches and cables distributes the weight evenly, meaning it can withstand earthquakes.It has also been designed to stay afloat in the event of floods or rising seas.It would be built around a central pillar connecting to roof-top wind generators and heat pumps, as well as to energy storage and thermal conversion units below.There will also be a “tornado” energy generating spiral at the top of the pillar.Daylight is filtered through to internal rooms due to the hotel’s see-through structure, reducing the need for lighting.There will be an array of vegetation to aid air quality and provide food sources.The Ark project was designed by Russian firm Remistudio with the assistance of the International Union of Architects’ program Architecture for Disasters Relief.

I am very fond of the ocean life, and came across this hotel. I am fascinated by not only the architecture of it but also how it is floating. It would be pretty awesome if it could actually move to different locations in the ocean around China. I would love to visit this and observe the ocean in the underwater rooms too..
