He has designed a whale- shaped floating garden. Its primary purpose is to filter out pollutants from the world’s rivers. He has another biomimicry design meant to imitate lily pads. These are intended to serve as sustainable floating cities whose residents are climate change refugees that lost their homes to rising ocean levels. He has also proposed a floating vertical garden tower the looks like a pair of dragonfly wings for New York City’s Roosevelt Island. This is another example of urban farming and would also augment an island as the chinampas once did. While this urban farming skyscraper by Romses Architects does not float, it does take into account the reuse cycle apparent with the chinampas.
