ABSTRACT:
To live below the water is very fascinating for the mankind. There are so many architects who had tried to build underwater structures but couldn’t succed, because the construction part is the most difficult part in these kinds of structures. Environmental conditions underwater will affect the form of the structure, provision for ventilation and services. Underwater structure is a place where people who do not dive or do not swim can actually feel/experience the living underwater. With the melting of ice caps, the world will go underwater, so we should be prepared to build structures underwater in the future. Space for water and space for living can be perfectly combined. Because of vertical and horizontal freedom, the experience in the water neighborhood will stay dynamic. Terms such as real estate and movable property, however will acquire a completely new meaning. Based on case studies in foreign countries that have actually these kind of structures. Present study explains the constructional techniques and execution of these kinds of structures in short.
From the early ages, living underwater is very fascinating for mankind. There are many architects who had tried to build underwater structures but couldn’t fulfil their dreams, because of the constructional constraint as marine construction is difficult if compared to normal construction on land. Environmental conditions underwater will affect the form of the structure, provision for ventilation and services. Underwater structure is a place where people who do not dive or do not swim can actually feel/experience the living underwater. With the melting of ice caps, the world will go
