¨&¨&&&¨¨&& 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. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨&¨¨
