Clean waterways are now in danger anywhere in the world is. Belgian architect Vincent Callebaut designed the Physalia, a prototype of an amphibious garden. The Physalia is a floating agora that is designed to clean the waterways.
Aside from its use of cleaning the waterways, the Physalia itself is earth friendly as well, for its roof contains a double pneumatic membrane with photovoltaic solar cells. The Physalia's hull on the other side has hydro-turbines that provides hydro-electricity by transforming the fluvial stream's energy.
