Floating city can let people live off grid and almost anywhere in the world

Russian architect, Alexander Remizov, has conceptualized and designed a floating city with a slinkylike outer skin of solar panels, able to sustain an insular community of people.

When grouped together, these could for massive networks of cities.

Remizov has designed the building for both land and sea; the foundation floats.  The 5 floor, 14,900 square meter vessel uses high and low temperature heat collectors to condense water and make steam.

Air temperature is regulated in the central column, cooled down in summer and warmed up in winter.  The air ventilates out of the central column to keep the city temperate.

The vortex caused by the air entering  on top is captured by a turbine and stored as wind energy.

 Waste is transformed into thermal energy and / or bio-fertilizer for the garden and greenhouse farming.

It's got some awesome potential as an off-shore hotel

Here is a slideshow of the vessel, accompanied by some mod rock.
