St. Louis, Senegal, faces rising sea levels. This configuration aims to help community's life adaptation to living on water.
Faced with climate change and rising sea levels in St. Louis, Senegal, our design has three phases: pre-crisis, crisis, and post-crisis. Pre-crisis involves mangrove-inspired buildings, residents on the second floor, and mosque protection. Crisis sees elevated platforms, Y-shaped structures, and a water system. Post-crisis utilizes submerged areas, minarets, and bunkers, with Y-shaped structures for markets and farms, ensuring adaptation and resilience. To conclude, Our design promotes adaptation, resilience, and life preservation in climate uncertainty.
