許多人對瑪雅所預測的2012世界末日深信不疑，其中有人認為地球或遭受巨大洪災，導致地球毀滅和人類的滅絕，若聖經上所描述的諾亞方舟景象，不過現在就有人未雨綢繆，規劃了一棟可以防範各種洪水猛獸及任何天災的五星級浮動旅館，在旅館裡，你將不用再擔心任何天災啦！

這長相宛若貝殼的圓型飯店，其上半身浮出於水面上，下半身則是潛於海平面以下，設計師稱其為現代的諾亞方舟，它到底是怎個神奇法可以抵擋任何天災？原來這棟建築設計成可以完全自給自足，其完全透明的玻璃有著良好彩光，同時飯店內種植大量綠色植物，可以行光合作用，同時可以摘種各種蔬果，提供充足的糧食，當然這些植物和蔬果都經過精心評估過，最能適應各種環境。

另外也有許多中央通風循環系統，可以通風，另外，飯店更採太陽能、風力及地熱溫泉等能源來發電，也不怕有缺電的煩惱，加上飯店有蒐集雨水的系統，更不擔心缺水啦。

而這座飯店外觀固若金湯，號稱可以阻擋各種不可抗拒的外力侵襲，甚麼地震、海嘯來襲，躲在飯店裡絕對是最好的避風港！

該飯店由俄國建築設計公司Remistudio所規劃，同時獲得國際建築組織防飢餓災害計畫的贊助，其原意在於建造一座可以通過各種時間的歷練幾集各種不可知的大自然的考驗的環境，不過究竟能否完成？還有真的能像設計團隊所號稱可以抵擋各種天災？只能拭目以待了。

Architects say the Ark's shell-like construction of arches and cables evenly distribute weight so it is also invulnerable to earthquakes. The design uses solar panels and a rainwater collection system to provide inhabitants with power and water. The greenhouse-like environment also provides for lush vegetation to help with air quality and provide food sources. Because of the see-through structure enough daylight is filtered through internal rooms to reduce the need for lighting. And to ensure quality of light, the frame is protected with a self-cleaning layer.

 The Ark has been designed by Russian firm Remistudio with the assistance of the International Union of Architects' program Architecture For Disaster Relief. Alexander Remizov, of Remistudio, said: 'For architecture there are two major concerns. 'The first is maintenance of security and precautions against extreme environmental conditions and climate changes. The second one is protection of natural environment from human activities.
'The Ark is an attempt to answer the challenges of our time.
'Provision is made for an independent life support system.
'All the plants are chosen according to compatibility, illumination and efficiency of oxygen producing, and with the aim of creating an attractive and comfort space.
'Through the transparent roof there is enough light for plants and for illuminating the inner rooms.'
