The Problem
If we continue on our current carbon path, by 2120 the landscape of coastal cities will be transformed due to rising sea levels, reaching 3 times above pre-industrial levels. To prepare for this future, current developing technologies could lead to a redesigned landscape of coastal cities, and how this will affect infrastructure, buildings, people, and transportation.
Goal
This visualization project focuses on my hometown, Boston, proposing a speculative future of the Seaport District Waterfront, centered around a reimagined Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston (ICA). Thinking of museums as institutional beacons for the culture and philosophies of the future, my design implements currently researched building materials and alternative transportation systems into the Boston seaport district in the 22nd century.
Apply existing material research to a solution for rising sea levels in Boston's Seaport District Waterfront
