Abstract
Floating Architecture could be one of the solutions for Coastal Risk and the Sea Leve Rise challenges that we are facing nowadays due to Climate Change. This thesis, in the architectural realm, studies and explores the floating alternative as an adaptation strategy with the potential to raise awareness and generate candid reflections about adaptation and future scenarios. In addition to raising awareness, the thesis puts in evidence the following hypothesis: To what extent floating architecture is an alternative when developed with a sustainable vision and solutions? From this point onwards, topics such as building with ease over water, and environmental impact reduction, developed a “know-how” competence in floating architecture.
Thanks to SEAform’s project opportunity, the research concerned mainly the design of a temporary floating pavilion for Venice, Italy
