ABSTRACT:
An underwater building comprises a floating base that is to be fixed to a bottom under water or the sea and a building body is constructed on the base. The base floats on the water surface before construction of the body of the building, and the building body formed thereon has a double-walled construction having an opening between an outside wall and an inside wall. Water is selectively poured into and drained from the opening, and by its weight the building body is controllably sunk into the water. Only a gateway tower portion made in the upper portion of the building body is eventually left projecting out of the water.
