Description
Summary:Hus med yt project aims to restore the splashes, ripples, oods, waves, streams, and droplets of water as manifestations of its presence in the built environment. An implementation of affordable oating dwellings dealing with the reality of climate change and urbanization which is demanding a new way of planning urban cities. Dealing with the issue of growing cities and how we as architects can provide housing for everyone in the city with a new approach - treating water as a surface rather than just a part of the landscape. Floating structures leave no scares on their sites, permitting Hus med yt to actively meet the demands of the present. As a part of the climate change generation it us up to us as architects to respond to the worlds spacial needs with smart, sustainable proposals.
