Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan has proposed the construction of the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Canal_Istanbul\">Istanbul Canal<\/a>. Of course, carving out this canal will produce a lot of displaced earth, so Erdo\u011fan put out the call for creative ideas for what to do with it. The result, HavvAda, is a man-made island community off the coast of Istanbul, Turkey. Each of the six hills pictured above would be supported by a geodesic dome. Benshetrit emphasizes that the plan is more of a vision that an actionable idea.
