¨&¨&¨&¨&&¨ created in the twenty eighties as a &&&&¨¨¨¨&¨
&&&&&&&¨&¨ cheap and open source way of dealing ¨¨¨&¨¨¨&&¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨&&&& with constant floods and a rising sea ¨¨&&¨¨&¨&&
¨¨¨¨¨&¨¨¨¨ level. ¨&¨&¨&&&¨&
¨¨¨¨&&¨¨¨& &&&&&¨¨&&&
¨¨¨&¨&¨¨&& the "house" would consist of a stack of ¨¨¨¨&¨&¨¨&
¨¨&&&&¨&¨& floor modules, each a square of thirty ¨¨¨&&&&¨&&
¨&¨¨¨&&&&¨ six square meters. these could be made ¨¨&¨¨¨&&¨&
&&¨¨&¨¨¨&& out of various materials such as carbon ¨&&¨¨&¨&&&
¨&¨&&¨¨&¨& fiber or plastic, not necessarily the &¨&¨&&&¨¨¨
&&&¨&¨&&&¨ same for each floor. &&&&¨¨&¨¨¨
¨¨&&&&¨¨&¨ ¨¨¨&¨&&¨¨&
¨&¨¨¨&¨&&¨ the house would be hung on a "mast", a ¨¨&&&¨&¨&&
&&¨¨&&&¨&& ridged metal pole extending between ¨&¨¨&&&&¨&
¨&¨&¨¨&&¨¨ fifty and a hundred meters. a mechanism &&¨&¨¨¨&&¨
&&&&¨&¨&¨¨ within each floor would enable them to ¨&&&¨¨&¨&¨
¨¨¨&&&&&¨& climb up or down the mast, together or &¨¨&¨&&&&&
¨¨&¨¨¨¨&&& individually. &¨&&&¨¨¨¨&
¨&&¨¨¨&¨¨& &&¨¨&¨¨¨&&
&¨&¨¨&&¨&¨ the lowest floor would usually have a ¨&¨&&¨¨&¨&
&&&¨&¨&&&& loading dock, a balcony/front door, and &&&¨&¨&&&¨
¨¨&&&&¨¨¨& various ladders. ¨¨&&&&¨¨&&
