A Case Study on Developing with Sustainability. Helping after Genocide took the life of one in every four people from Cambodia.
The Ecological Living Community with Hotel, School, Shops and Housing in Phnom Penh, Cambodia fuses Sustainable Practice, Potential Natural Disaster Aversion, Tourism and Provides locals with Jobs, Education, Mentorships, Skills, Rediscovered knowledge of the Khmer Ancestral Building and Hydraulic Heritage as well as, future Eco-Intelligent Careers to the local population.
Innovating to create a Culturally Rich Community and School for the City on the Mekong River; the site will provide flexible pvc pipe amphibious housing and stilt construction to protect from flooding and will be packed with ice filled walls and subflooring. Ice fallen from the Himalayan Glacier will be productively reused and carried along the Mekong incorporating Hydrogen Fuel Cell boats, insulated with @Greensulate or similar; thereby, alleviating some potential flood risks associated with glacial melting by carrying the ice downstream and productively reusing it. Walls without ice will adapt a biolife system akin to that of the E. chlorotica sea slug. Together, these interventions will also aid in reducing energy costs and CO2 emissions associated with fossil fuels used to formulate air-conditioning. When the tides turn during the rainy season, Cambodian Style boats crafted by locals with hydrogen fuel cell technology will return along the Mekong to the Himalayas and prepare again for the journey to bring ice south. In addition, the wall systems in the buildings will use @Ecovate natural insulation systems. Natural water cleansing, reuse and recycling systems will be incorporated into the wall systems to provide drinking water and local sustainable agriculture. Naturally occurring, not engineered in a lab, the Hybrid. Plant + Animal genes Solar Powered Sea Slug will inform new Trade Technologies On-Site.

Intervention:
This modern adaptation on the plan of the ancient and forgotten city, Preah Khan from the 12th Century; and Reprogram its’ elements to create a Social Project, Cultural Living Hotel and School in the Capital City, Phnom Penh, an icon for the city.
Yet, innovate, modernize and propose a tropical museum-like village on the riverfront and island made from the ice of the Himalayan Glacier dropped off and floated down the river. The site will provide education and housing to locals. Ice will also be stowed in the buildings for cooling and incorporate natural insulation systems. This it is hoped will help alleviate some of the potential risks associated with glacial melting by carrying the ice downstream and productively reusing it. It should also aid in reducing energy costs associated with unsustainable practices used to formulate air-conditioning. When the tides turn during the rainy season, the boats crafted by locals return naturally row-boat style to the north and prepare again for the journey to bring ice south. Water reuse and recycling systems will also be proposed with new modus system inventions. As well as, flexible pvc piping amphibious housing, stilt construction and on-water living interventions.
The project fuses Sustainable Practice, Tourism, Potential Natural Disaster Aversion and Provides locals with jobs, internships, skills, rediscovered knowledge of their ancestral building and hydraulic heritage as well as, future careers and trades to the local population.
