ArchitectSajjad NavidiproposesPuffer Villageas a bold solution for flooding in rural areas.
The conceptual project was completed as part ofFondation Jacques Rougeries 2021 competition for architecture and art.
It was included in a list of the 10 best entries in the innovation related to sea-level rise category.
Navidi used the logic of the pufferfish because it is common to the local lake of Nakoue.
He was inspired by both the animals defense mechanism and its practices for attracting a mate.
Navidi also studied the underwater sand rings used in mating rituals to define the aesthetic of the new structures.
An impact sensor would also allow water to enter the skin of the home.
The added weight would keep the home from drifting off during storms and help to protect it from damage.
