We’ve featured Vincent Callebaut’s visionary green designs before and we are happy to highlight his current muse Lilypads.

Callebaut claims inspiration for his half aquatic, half terrestrial cities from the giant lilypads of the Amazonia Victoria Region and predictions of rising sea levels due to global warming, though perhaps some real life inspiration could equally have come from the floating markets of Kashmir or the gliding villages on the Tonle Sap, Cambodia.

In any case, I’m a little in love with the idea of seasons determined by the pull of oceanic currents.
