Initially designed for Noaa and Nasa, two of the biggest American sea and space research agencies respectively, this project was aimed at establishing aquanaut communities in the seabed of the Virgin Islands at the Caribbean. The village, immersed at the depths of 30 to 40 meters was expected to host from 50 to 250 inhabitants. Its architecture, based on bionics and defined by specific conditions of underwater community life, was adapted to studies and subaquatic resources management, especially the aquaculture technical development of sea animals and plants in the middle of the ocean.
