Bhola Island is one of the largest islands of Bangladesh. The island suffered the worst environmental problems. Erosion gradually destroys the island since 1960. As a possible solution, the project suggests a floating 30-storey tower equipped with wind, surrounded by floating rice fields and a fresh water tank. Designed for approximately 500 people. The habitat can adapt to changes in sea level.
