This month, Big and Oceanix,
In response to the global crisis of rising sea levels,
A bold concept was presented to the United Nations.
That's the modern version of Noah's Ark —

The survival crisis of 2.4 billion people! BIG released the 2050 Noah's Ark plan to make the city float! BIG once designed a floating student apartment in Copenhagen with a container , "City Cabin".
"oceanix city" is very futuristic,
The location is set at sea about a mile off the coastline.
It covers an area of 50000㎡,
Equivalent to the size of seven standard football fields.
