AMPHIBIOUS LINK - Resilient Coastal Morphology
“A small scale solution for a truly large scale problem, where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts” The project focuses on coastal resilience and island formation through synthesis of specific, locally adaptable processes and procedures.
The powerful idea, subtle design approach and transferable adaptable concept are combined to produce new kind of highly resilient coastal fabric.
Continuous territorial multi-dimensional printing, initiated by strategically placed units and driven by currents and tidal fluctuations forms resilient coastal fabric on a territorial scale, an amphibious connection between water environment and dry land.
The project engages with multi objective design range where combination of innovation, contextual and aesthetic impact, environmental quality, economic performance and compatibility and ethical standards play a vital role in improving lives, habitats, biodiversity and increasing resilience to engage with climate change.
