Hey I agree with you. Denmark is still in the grip of a monarchy, and under the financial control of a central banking system, so the guys that designed the triangle docking setup clearly are thinking in terms of capital production.
I think I am just gonna get a blowtorch and a bazillion milk jugs, and make a dome shape of recycled plastic, tie a bunch of used tires to the rim with baling twine for ballast, and float it in the Great Pacific Garbage patch, letting birds poop with abandon on top until there's enough fertile goo to grow some coconuts and bananas.
Then I'll harvest the mussels and oysters that grow on the baling twine and tires, catch the fish that hide amongst them, and live the life.
It depends on how you'll use the vessel. Imma assume you're gonna be largely a fairweather sailor, so roof will be ok. However, it will be a climb every time, and also difficult to air condition on the roof. That matters in Tejas.
Anything you put up top will also reduce solar collection. The weight of a flying bridge, as a rooftop wheelhouse is called, is an issue, sorta balanced out by improved visibility of waterborne hazards (which are generally important to avoid).
For reasons of that visibility, and also because there is so little deck space, I would rule out the stern.
Most boats have the wheelhouse forward in the cabin, and if they have a flying bridge, that is a second bridge, with the main inside the cabin.
The latter choice would be my recommendation, with a flying bridge added only if you can forego some solar collector real estate, and undertake the additional labor and expense.
floating megacity! using recycled plastics especially tires under the ocean may have side effects...i read a post on steemit few weeks back that shows million of tires under the ocean...with no marine life...also another post of huge rail sub way coaches dropped under the ocean,.i think in new york... which will help rebuild the marine life since the surface is not slippery like rubber tires...
so whats your opinion?
why 'megacities' (rat utopias)? why not villages or mobile single family dwellings?
Economies of scale, and what do you have against cute, cuddly rats?
I'm all for village scale development. I reckon it's what people are designed to thrive in.
Still get rats though.
economies of scale is so last millenium.
3D printing will make it obsolete.

As long as I have interenet, that is.
Deal breaker so far.
Speaking of reality, how comes the Steem Dreem?
I work on it a little bit each day. It's a bit warm and the medicine I take for Diabetes (and other stuff) doesn't play pretty with the heat.
I'm slooooowly deconstructing it....every BIT of wood is rotted.
When I scrape out all the old foam, and rotted wood.
Then I will begin to rebuild. I change my mind hourly as to how I'm going to do that.
The joy of indecision! You're never wrong until you decide.
it's the wheel house.
where should I put it?
in front, in the middle (on the roof)
or in the rear?
height and center of gravity is an issue.
