Water Village
Water Village is a unique settlement built on stilts over water, often found in regions with abundant rivers or coastal areas. These villages are characterized by wooden houses connected by walkways, allowing residents to navigate their homes without touching the ground. The architecture is designed to withstand flooding and rising water levels, making it a practical solution for living in such environments.
In many cultures, Water Villages are home to communities that rely on fishing and aquaculture for their livelihoods. They often feature markets, schools, and communal spaces, fostering a strong sense of community among residents. Notable examples include the Venetian Canals in Italy and the Floating Villages in Cambodia.
