Aquatecture competition
В свете климатических изменений, которые претерпевает наша планета, организаторы предлагают задуматься о том, что будет представлять собой жизнь на воде. Многие города и целые страны с каждым годом все больше страдают от повышающегося уровня мирового океана. Возможно, в не столь далеком будущем, человечество полностью лишится суши. О том, какой будет архитектура такого будущего, предстоит пофантазировать участникам.

Water – an element in nature that life is constantly surrounded by; an element that has given birth to life on Earth and continues to support it. Although we made our shift to land, our bond with water still remains significant as ever; it is an element that is a basic necessity for our survival.
The life on Earth is today plagued by adverse climate changes, global warming, the increasing toxic emissions, rising population, and scarce land resources. With various countries, such as Holland, fighting rising water levels for decades and with the current trends, it is now time to brace ourselves against the unseen future and design solutions to cope with the ever-changing paradigms of nature.
Today, the discourse of 'smart cities' has overtaken every conversation discussing the future of architecture. It is a glaring question as to how are we going to address the equation between the contrasting aspects of ecological crises and technological advancement for building our futures.
Covering 71% of the Earth, it is now time to look at the water again as a harbinger of life in the near future; a place where human life can again thrive in its original glory. Creating living spaces on water will soon become a need to survive as a community on Planet Earth.
