Wolf Hilbertz

Wolf Hilbertz was an architect and professor at the University of Houston, known for his innovative ideas in sustainable construction and marine architecture. In the late 1990s, he co-founded the concept of Autopia, a micronation on the Saya de Malha bank, where he aimed to create a self-sustaining community using his patented Biorock technology. His vision was to build environmentally friendly living spaces that would foster marine life and sustainable living, though his plans ultimately stalled due to funding issues.
