EcoFactor: Attempts to give more drinking water to residents of the Dead Sea region. The Dead Sea region is known to be an area that denotes an eco dilemma; hence, this new green concept by New York-based Company Phu Hoang Office called No Man’s Land is truly revolutionary. The design embarks upon the environmental and humanitarian problems related to the procurement of fresh water, which is extremely vital. No Man’s Land generates an artificial archipelago that employs a variety of building technology and will extract water molecules from the air to be desalinated, ending the extinction of fresh water near the Dead Sea. Salinity gradient solar ponds, water purification tanks, and water filtering processes will also be a part of this whole structure. The designs also include artificial islands for tourists and solar energy production, providing self-sufficient power as well as creating revenue.

The Dark Side: The intent behind providing more drinking water to the inhabitants of the region and to desalinate the saltiest water in the world certainly is praiseworthy. However, the only downside to the plan is that it’s still in the conceptual stage. I personally think that an architectural structure with so much potential should definitely become a reality in the coming years!
