Abstract
Climatic changes of today rise sea levels, and the transformation of coastal areas requires a transition to adaptive models of the floating architecture. The article is devoted to the development of a theoretical model of the floating architecture in the context of climatic changes and the transformation of water areas.
Purpose: The aim of the work is to substantiate omnipotence as a systemic property of floating structures and identify principles that ensure their multi-potentiality.
Methodology: A comparative analysis of projects realized late in the 20th and early 21st centuries, typological comparison of their spatial and functional characteristics, and synthesis of contemporary scholarly publications.
Research findings: The model comprising nine interrelated principles is formulated: temporality, hybridity, modularity, scalability, mobility, user adaptability, self-organization, ecological sustainability, and technological integration. It is found that their interaction forms an omnipotent architectural system capable of transformation and scenario shifts.
Value: The scientific novelty of the study lies in the interpretation of the floating architecture as a multi-scenario adaptive environment.
