Design Precedents


Mentioned before in my case studies I really appreciate the problems addressed and solutions created in the design for New York's Upper Bay. This actual picture was a contribution from dlandstudio who have some interesting work in relation to sea level rise.

dlandstudio identify that

"research works to identify how natural ecologies such as mangrove forests and tidal wetlands, systems that have evolved over millions of years as natural protectors of coastlines, can be adapted to create engineered systems to serve the same purpose. Abstracting the essence of natural systems into engineered solutions is the best way to combat the environmental challenges that face us over the next 100 years"
