Who says castle cannot be built in the air?
The Italian design firm Lazzarini is creating the $8 billion yacht project Pangeos, which will probably be built in the King Abdullah Economic City.
In Saudi Arabia, a massive turtle-shaped building that is 550 meters long and 610 meters wide is planned to be built as a floating city for the ultra-rich.
The $8 billion terayacht project Pangeos, which is being planned by the Italian firm Lazzarini, is anticipated to be built in the King Abdullah Economic City, around 2 kilometers from the King Abdullah port. It will take roughly eight years to finish the project once it gets started.
Accordingly Pangeos the Terayacht project, which is twice the size of the Roman Colosseum, may accommodate up to 60,000 people at a time.
Pangeos' creator Pierpaolo Lazzarini remarked, "At the moment, it's just a concept, but it's starting to his way to become something more than a computer animation."
According to Lazzarini, the supercontinent Pangea, which existed millions of years ago during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic ages, serves as the inspiration for the terayacht idea.
He said that visitors may unwind by staying in one of the area's numerous hotels, visiting its abundance of malls, parks, beach clubs, and resorts, as well as its ship and aircraft ports.
The terayacht, according to Lazzarini, would be built in a shipyard created just for it and would be launched from Saudi Arabia.
A Terashipyard is required by a Terayacht. The design of a vessel of a comparable size entails the construction of a specific shipyard and dam infrastructure, which will flood to lift the terayacht when it is launched, the speaker said.
The project's objective involves creating a circular dam to dredge a square km of seabed. He continued, "Once the terrain has dried, it will be possible to begin preparing the basement area."
He claims that the Pangeos structure's enormous sizes and floating structure, which divides the spaces into different blocks, offer virtually endless design and facility options.
"There are around 30,000 cells in the hull. The basement, which is made up of clusters of compartments connected by corridors, can now have an unsinkable floating solution, according to the Italian architect.
The ship's massive hull, which has a 30-meter draft, is separated into many blocks and composed of nine distinct bows. The building also has a huge doorway at the back that permits ships to enter this floating city, he said.
It would be propelled by nine high-temperature superconductor (HTS) engines, each fuelled by diverse onboard energy sources and capable of an astounding 16,800 horsepower.
