The Bloom is a futuristic take on
marine farming designed by French firm Sitbon Architectes that was chosen as
one of 5 finalists for the first Architizer A+ Awards in the "architecture
and weather" category. The spherical structure is well designed to be a
semi-submersible laboratory garden, cultivating microscopic marine organisms famous
as phytoplankton that produce oxygen and aid in plummeting the carbon dioxide
in the atmosphere. The floating structure is espically designed to be tethered
to the seabed by a series of cables and uses an advanced filtration system to
make salt-water into fresh-water for the onboard residents. An everlasting
staff of researchers, scientists, and marine biologists would live aboard the
vessel, screening the ongoing experiments and using the phytoplankton farms to
lower carbon-dioxide levels in areas of requires across the globe. Bloom would
also be able to detect infinitesimal changes in the surrounding waters to assist
alert nearby nations of impending tsunamis. Eventually, the goal of the project
is to address both global warming and the rapidly rising sea-levels.
