We are living an
era that forecasts a population increase living in a reduced surface of the
geosphere due to sea level rise, a challenge for resources without precedents
in our society.
Due to the opportunity
to create a water structure in the Charles River, we are able to explore the
possibilities of inhabiting the water at the same time that to provide spaces
that inspire others. To do so, we thought on an Archipelago of interventions that
mimic environments conceived to be in mainland, contributing with this to alternatives
to today’s building environment – primarily conceived on mainland.
This interventions
will mix public space (leisure) with the productivity needed to provide
resources for the incoming population.
