The invention provides a habitable structure having a network of energy, fluid and waste conduits disposed throughout, the operation of which is controlled by a central controller. The habitable structure comprises a number of external platforms to accommodate residential structures and by various means collect energy and resources from the environment in a variety of forms. The collection of energy is similarly controlled centrally. Parts of the habitable structure may connect to resource distribution hubs to extract from, and/or to contribute resources to, the habitable structure. The habitable structure may be configured for offshore deployment, modular deployment, or deployment within a community of like inter-linked habitable structures. |
