Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Amphibious architecture is a flood mitigation strategy that works in synchrony with a flood-prone region’s natural cycle of flooding, rather than attempting to obstruct them. An amphibious building rests firmly on the ground but when a flood occurs, the entire building can float, buoyed by the floodwater. It is a building that has a buoyant foundation resting on the ground most of the time but whenever a flood occurs, it is designed to float buoyed by water and return to its original state when the floodwater recedes. It brings together components of the construction and marine industry to give rise to an ingenious solution to flooding.<\/span><\/p>\n

Amphibious buildings are only feasible where water depths are likely to exceed 1m and dependent on the weight of the building may require much greater depths.\u00a0Amphibious houses should be constructed in such a way that it is sufficiently stable to withstand flood flows without tipping over, and they must be securely tethered to prevent a building escaping its moorings In areas that are vulnerable to flooding, the best notion would be to live with the flooding and be in peace with water rather than fighting against it. Amphibious construction smartly employs floodwater itself as the effective agent to elevate a building. It helps in preventing colossal damages caused by severe floods.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ontological Model
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

An ontology is developed to represent the conceptual design of amphibious houses, principally targeted at the structural design of its foundation. There are four classes defined for representing the amphibious house domain such as its physical components, possible materials, and possible uses and their relations. The intended end-users are the planning and design engineers of amphibious houses. This ontology can be used as a knowledge representation to support the creation of parametric models, specifically targeted for the structural design of the foundation of amphibious houses.
