Climate & rising waters
Whale Fall Biomimetic Design Centered around Rising Sea Levels
- Year2023
Sea levels are rising as climate change continues to be a significant issue impacting both humans and wildlife. Landscapes are changing, and architecture should be built with that awareness. This project presents the idea of metamorphosing architecture inspired by the concept of a whale fall. A whale fall occurs when it dies and continues supporting a succession of biological communities in its decomposition. Similarly, the structure would support a complex system of users at each stage of its deterioration.
