Initial Design Sketches
From initial research by Cesar it was found that the two most stable shapes in water are a sphere and a pole. This because the surface in contact with the water does not change much with both shapes therefore they don't experience much turbulance. This is why most buoys are a combination of these two shapes.
The next research influenced the shape.
From studying different life rafts for
survival at sea Cesar found that the best
life raft available was the 'Givens Life Raft'
Below is a video of it in use. Cesar was able
to go inside one of these raft to see first-
hand what they are like
This is a slideshow of some draft sketches of the floating gardens development
