In a visionary idea from Indonesia, bridges made from layered coconut shells bound by natural fibers would float over floods, flexing instead of breaking as water levels rise. Built from discarded local materials and biodegradable resin, such structures blend utility with ecological harmony. Though living root bridges already exist in Indonesia, shells-as-bridges remain a concept, not a reality. Still, this design captures how innovation rooted in nature and community can respond gently to climate challenges.
