For a while Sea level rise has been presented and experimented in developing countries, like if the problem was far and it would never affect us one day.

Years after 2058, sea level rise will transform radically costal territories creating the notion of new “Islands”. Porosa is one of those States, far away from reality of cities on continent. It has to admit the transition and accept the sea level rise like an unavoidable fact. One element, the Axome, guide all the city. It can reorganize all the hierarchy of the urban structure tempting to preserve society footprint existing before the sea level rise.
