THE EARTH IS CHANGING. That much is unavoidable. The publication of data from May 2013 showing carbon levels surpassing 400 parts per million (UC San Diego 2013) - the highest ever in human history - is undisputed evidence that climate change is happening. The imminent threat of rising sea levels, global warming and ocean acidification is rendering much of the planet's ecosystems in danger of extinction, and with them, our current way of life. Through this project, we uncover a dialogue about the potential for a seascape architecture that forms a symbiotic relationship with the sea by creating a self-sufficient, self-forming coral reef ecosystem. This project stems from current research on artificial reef systems by figures including Wolf Hilbertz and James Gardiner, and utilises digital software to generate site-specific structural designs.
