In recent years, the maritime world has become a stage full of gigantic structures, pushing the boundaries of technology and design. The Italian architectural firm Lazzarini makes a fascinating contribution to this scene with its eponymous colossal project Pangeos Terayat.
Pangeos Terayat takes its name from the supercontinent Pangea, which existed until 335 million years ago, and resembles a floating city. 550 meters long and 610 meters wide, the cost of this giant structure is estimated at 8 billion dollars. However, this figure is not surprising considering the unique experience it will offer. Pangeos is more than just a yacht, it is designed as a living space. It will offer all kinds of comfort and services, from hotels to shopping centers, parks and ports. With a capacity of up to 60,000 guests, Pangeos resembles a continent.
Giant City on the Water Will Rise in a Desert
Pangeos will be built in King Abdullah Port, north of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and will take around eight years to complete. Scheduled to be completed in 2033, this gigantic project is set to be a milestone in maritime history.
Not only the size of Pangeos is remarkable, but also its design. This floating city, which has a unique appearance with its tera-turtle design, will stand with 30,000 steel cell structures underneath. Pangeos, which will have a 98-foot draft, will be able to travel at five knots and will meet its energy needs from solar panels. An interesting way is being followed to finance the project Through a crowdfunding initiative in the virtual world, a virtual entrance ticket to Pangeos can be purchased. This initiative shows how much interest there is in the project, and is indeed part of a global effort to bring this colossal structure to life.
