| dc.description.abstract | A hundred years into the future, humanity and the world will
experience dramatic changes. As climate change begins to alter
our global environments, humanity must adapt to the changes
it brings. The overall increase in global temperatures is melting
the polar ice caps and glaciers causing our sea levels to rise
dramatically putting over 44% of the world population at risk of
being submerged under the sea.
As dry land becomes more scarce and human populations of the
world continue to increase, a new solution is needed to begin to
utilize the 71% portion of the Earth’s surface; the oceans.
This thesis explores potential solutions to large population
density structure and urban societies on the seas. A replicable
and practical project that meets humanities needs while
providing the necessary character and biology of a city will be
needed in the future.
The project will explore the various issues with oceanic structures
and subaqueous life in the new cities of the future. | en_US |
