Building on Water: Dutch Architect Koen Olthuis, Part 1 of 2

Koen Olthuis was featured in TIME Magazine’s 2007 list of the world’s most influential people, as his work has gained global interest. His firm, Waterstudio.NL, is behind a unique form of water-based architectural development that places homes, buildings and other structures on water by using floating foundations. Floating structures are mobile and can be transported from one location to another. There are many benefits to building on water, such as adding space to densely built areas, economic benefits, social benefits and the sustainability.
