SO-IL: Grounding Adaptations

BIG: Adaptive Archipelago

CONDENSATIONS: Living With Water

ARCHIPELOGICS 2.0

As the shore­lines are redrawn by the ris­ing tides, we redraw the shape of the ground on which we still stand. We adapt by reced­ing and build­ing denser, more effi­cient, and with more air. This exhi­bi­tion fea­tures six projects in diverse geo­graph­ic, cli­mat­ic, social, and eco­nom­ic con­texts. Each attempts to fill in the gaps, build up, and make liv­ing on top of, next to, and togeth­er with each oth­er a beau­ti­ful propo­si­tion in the 21st Century.
