Ark project was designed by the
Russian company Remistudio with the help of the
International Union of Architects' Architecture program for
disaster relief. The
hotel shaped dome was built with wooden arches, of steel cables and a layer of self-cleaning plastic rather than glass. The hotel shook as the arch can be adapted to land and water. It is built to stay afloat in case of floods or flood waters. The 14,000 square feet of shell-shaped structure of arcs and cable distributes the weight evenly, which means it can withstand earthquakes. Natural light is filtered through local domestic grounds of the hotel see-through structure, reducing lighting needs. more info and images after the break...

Designed as an integrated energy with
UPS to use
alternative energy sources, the hotel uses
solar panels and a system of
rainwater harvesting to provide the people of power and water. It would be built around a central axis linking the wind turbines on the roof and
heat pumps and storage facilities and conversion of energy is also below.There spiral
thermal energy of a tornado at the top of the pillar.
