ARCH: before me, the deluge

METHOD

Identify and analyse the topographic condition you would like to work with in response to the brief (eg: land that becomes an island, land/water edge, open water).

TECHNIQUE

Through models, physical and digital, develop ways of dealing with unpredictable water levels to propose a structure for shelter, be it attached to land and responsive or amphibious or buoyant…

AIMS

To stimulate quick design responses for scenarios which require adaptable solutions.

STRENGTHS

Employ architects’ ability to solve complex problems to offer solutions for extreme situations (non-site specific solutions with site specific knowledge, skills, materials).
