NEWLAND: EXPLORATION


What to do when the sea water level rises by one meter? Rotterdam Academy of Architecture in 1998. First idea: an Archipelago, to live more flexibly with the sea. In the context of a workshop of the Rotterdam Academy of Architecture in 1996.

An impression of what that could mean for the Netherlands

But it soon occurred to me that it is useless to defend the land forever against the ever rising sea. Solution: Let the water come in and come up with a solution to make new land. No longer defending against nature, but working together.
