Callebaut set out to design a self-sufficient haven for “climate refugees,” who could roam the earth with nothing but a hacky-sack and a Nalgene bottle by 2100.

Insiders predict that wind, solar and hydropower will most likely supply the energy if the city ever comes to fruition. See more views of the Lilypad below.
