RISING TIDES – WORKING WITH THE WATERLINE/AQUA-ESTATES
CHRIS DORAY STUDIO/CRACOW UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY 2014
This ‘think-tank workshop’ took on a vigorous expedition to harness creative possibilities of co-existing with the imminent global threat of Sea-Levels Rising (SLR). As architects, urban-planners, geographers, climatologist and environmental engineers – we have the capacity to modify the waterline through our built-environment, where material and the immaterial spaces shall weave together and interact to create multiple scenarios of a single context. The students explored relentlessly an embodiment of investigations that deliberately emphasizes the relationship between urbanism, the ocean and the shoreline.
