Using textiles, i started to work on the notion of cellularity for the envelop.
The water pipes subdivide the envelop, and create "pockets" of various size.
The idea is to create a pattern of small to large cellules, depending on their use.
Some cellules will become water reservoirs, alimented by the water pipes.
Some others can be solar captors, linked to an electrical circuit, to provide energy to
the vessel.
This building/vessel is therefore a self-sufficient entity (fresh water/ electricity /fishing nets).
It can become a provider for those in need.
Because of the vessel's merging with water, and it's ability to "duck" under waves, it can access retrieved/endangered places (for instance during a storm), and provide the inhabitants those essential elements.
Moreover, the vessel is equiped with a number of "octopus tentacules", that guide it, and become the vessel's support in low water.
During last tutorial emerged the idea that thoses "tentacules" could become water filters, and a lot more.
The vessel is almost to look "animal like", with a skin, tentacules...

it's good to see investigations at different scales. now you might want to prepare a document that synthesise most of your ideas. it could be via a series of drawings explaining the full scenario you are imagining, or via a more 'technical' section through the building showing us 'what each part does'. Whatever way you choose, we need to follow your ideas; You have a lot of ideas, so try and show them all.
