“…Scanlan (1974) provides several insights into what is possible with floating structures, but this pioneering work receives little attention. According to Simović et al (2020), the "water environment also brings a completely new perspective: it changes the way we act, feel and move . .…”

Transformable area systems (TASs) offer new possibilities for sustainable factory planning and development, notably as regards maritime structures. This is of relevance to factories of the future and could constitute a major influence in future factory planning and operation (i.e., the way in which factories are planned, implemented, transformed, relocated, used, and managed). Floating pontoon islands with solar systems already exist, and so much more is possible with similar but more complex structures. This article explains the basics of the TAS concept, assesses its potential, and discusses the future possibilities. It concludes that lack of knowledge and awareness about TASs and their potential is holding back their application in practice. Omnipresent short-term thinking and short-term profit expectations are further hurdles that are limiting the further development of TASs at present. TASs could nevertheless contribute to the improved functioning, sustainability, and future viability of factories, other structures, and their development.

“…Consequently, a floating overpass is the best option for the design of spans when passing deep-water sections. It is a tunnel submerged to a depth of 50 m. This concept, proposed by the author of the GPV more than 40 years ago [3], is currently being developed by scientists from Norway, Italy, and China [4]. A floating overpass must be designed to withstand external influences, operational and accidental loads, with sufficient strength and longitudinal bending stiffness.…”

The runway for the General Planetary Vehicle is a unique in scale and complexity infrastructural construction - an overpass with a length of 40 000 km, covering the planet along the equator and combined with a string-rail transport of the second level. This high-tech structure is a supporting structure for the General Planetary Vehicle and a communication artery that ensures the movement of passengers and goods, as well as the transfer of large amounts of energy and information. The article discusses the location of the overpass in the plan, indicates the most difficult sections and ways to overcome them. The options for the layout of the General Planetary Vehicle overpass are proposed, the main functional areas and structural elements are described. Significant factors affecting the implementation of the project, the problems inevitable in the development of the main elements, as well as solutions to optimize this transport and infrastructure complex have been identified. Solutions were proposed to optimize the overpass routing to overcome mountainous areas of the earths surface, considering the required takeoff and landing characteristics of the General Planetary Vehicle.

“…The positive characteristic of floating structures is that by their very nature they are not permanently positioned on any location, but instead they enable movement in a sense of following the ambition of community or financial ambition of the investors. A building may be relocated in the case of contamination on site, the reconstruction of a harbor or the quay where the construction is docked, or the repurposing of an urban settlement into whose function the construction no longer agrees with, but also in the event that the building at hand must undergo a shift in function which requires a different urban area [6].…”

“…Single or periodic use massive objects, in terms of an independent structure or a series of interconnected elements in a colossal complex of buildings, which are used at the one and the same locality make for inordinate investments which, in turn, results in the necessity of cost rationalization. This type of concept encourages space saving as constructions of this kind take up significant amounts of land [6].…”

“…Floating buildings, therefore, gain the capacity to endure the lack of stability inherently found along the body of a river or sea due to the consequences of climate change such as rising levels, increased rainfall, flooding and daily shift of the ebb-and-tide cycles. Such arguments speak in favor of the safety that floating structures thus introduce, as the surface of the building remains constantly above water levels [6].…”

The aim of this research is to discuss the key elements of successful implementation of floating buildings with purpose to activate waterfronts for the public use. The challenge of utilisation of waterfronts and bodies of water that meet city shores seems to have a global presence. Policy makers, planners and practitioners seek to reintroduce the waterfronts as places of public benefit and enjoyment and seem to be sharing the similar guiding principle on which functions these places are able to accommodate. By following this principle, city shores and their water are becoming a functional mix of public spaces where one can come to work, play or simply relax. From the standpoint of increased quality of life, we thus deliver benefits across all of its aspects: social, cultural and economic.
