Composed of three hexagonal modules that will take up 60,000 square meters in Busan’s harbor, this floating city prototype will act as a laboratory to test the viability of housing for “climate refugees.”
Oceanix Busan由三個六邊形模塊組成，將佔據釜山港口6萬平方公尺的土地面積，而這座漂浮城市原型也將作為實驗室，測試為「氣候難民」提供住房的可行性。

In the future, it will be extremely important to populations living in the world’s coastal areas to be able to cope with flooding, as scientists predict that “from 2050 onwards, coastal areas where 300 million people now live could be flooded every year.”
世界各地沿海地區的人口究竟能不能應對洪水，將成為未來的重要課題，因科學家預測「從2050年開始，沿海地區有高達3億人口的家園可能每年遭到洪水淹沒」。
