Architecture office Carlo Ratti Associati has used submarine technologies to design a buoyant public space off the coast of West Palm Beach's Currie Park.
As part of his masterplan for the Florida city's waterfront, architect Carlo Ratti and his team have proposed a plaza that will be partly submerged and constructed like an underwater vessel.
Ratti's project aims to transform a vacant 19-hectare area on the coast of Lake Worth Lagoon, a narrow sea channel separating the cities of West Palm Beach and Palm Beach.
The new complex will include housing, retail and leisure facilities along the water's edge, along with the public park extending into the lagoon.

While we still wait on "The Barge".
Hate to see what the slightest tropical system does to that.
Tropical system..........shoot a typical nor'easter. Or the "storm of the century" like storm that came this year from the South. The zero entry would be interesting in most St Johns river conditions in a 10-15 mph wind.
Does Putnam county know about this?
In case it sinks. 2017-99 Derelict vessel removal approved today at the 3/6/17 NCIS meeting.
Anyone else feeling sorry for the Baltimore guys 2014-412?

Welcome back. And strangely enough, this is a somewhat on topic. ;)
Did you have a hard time FINDing your computer? Was it SILOed away while you were actually out fishing under the not-so-new-anymore 'No Fishing' signs? We've been here, why you aren't?
