TOPOSA is inspired by the traditional African shelter for its function of protection against nature and its composition in huts, hexagons that contain flexible and multi-functional cells. The fluid shape adapts to wind and weather, moreover all the materials used which have corne from recycled plastics and wood. The platform is floating with the use of Archimedes' thrust and anchor to ensure the stability of the shelter, so the project is self-sufficient on renewable energy and natural food resources, host to a thriving swarm.
