8 Degrees

Norway has a long intimate history and culture to its rivers and glaciers. As the world faces a slow but sure rise of sea levels due to climate change, glaciers are melting and the world will begin to flood with more intensity. As Norway loses its glaciers this structure will stand as the last glacier to survive the floods of climate change.

The idea of the last glacier is interesting, though not explored to its full potensial as the concept is not clearly translated into architecture in shape, properties or relationship to water. It is a strong comment on environmental challenges and rising water levels, but seams to celebrate it more than beeing the becon of hope we need now.

The Adsequor

The Adsequor is a sustainable hotel project on the seashores of Izmir where the historical Meles Stream forms an important but unfortunately neglected wetland called Meles Delta, around which a skyscraper zone poorly develops. The main objective of the project is to heal both the wetland and the river through a new approach towards the highrise typology.
