About Dougen
The name '同源' (Dougen) translates to "same origin" or "common source", embodying our project's core philosophy.
Our Philosophy
Dougen represents our belief that all elements of life are interconnected. Just as the Japanese concept suggests a "common source," our floating city integrates healthcare, food, housing, energy, data, and ocean resources into a unified sustainable system.
This holistic approach allows us to create a resilient community that can adapt to global challenges like climate change and rising sea levels. Everything in Dougen shares a common foundation for survival and growth on the ocean.
Key Principles
- Interconnection: All systems work together as a single ecosystem
- Sustainability: Self-sufficient systems that minimize environmental impact
- Resilience: Designed to withstand and adapt to changing conditions
- Innovation: Incorporating cutting-edge technology and design
Features & Systems

Our Vision
Explore our vision for Dougen, a floating city designed to tackle the challenges of climate change and rising sea levels.
Creating a Sustainable Future
Dougen is more than just a floating city – it's a blueprint for humanity's future. As climate change continues to impact our planet, the concept of "same origin" reminds us that we must work together with nature rather than against it.
Our vision is to create a fully functional, self-sustaining community that demonstrates how humans can live in harmony with the ocean. By integrating cutting-edge technology with thoughtful design, Dougen will showcase solutions to some of humanity's most pressing challenges.
The circular design of Dougen represents our commitment to the circular economy – where resources are continuously reused and recycled, minimizing waste and environmental impact.
