AMPHIBIOUS STRUCTURES:Building Resilience in Munroe Islands

Q: Where is the project "AMPHIBIOUS STRUCTURES:Building Resilience in Munroe Islands" located?

This project is located in India.

The thesis project concentrates on exploring new technologies and flood resilient structures in flood prone areas. Taking case of Munroe island where tidal flooding is a usual scene and is noticed to be sinking after Tsunami in 2004, endangering the lives of the inhabitants.Low-lying areas of the island are now under threat of submergence during high tides.

Amphibious Commons

Amphibious Commons is a strategy that works across public spaces in Kerala, from a single cluster, to a market, to a regional transit network. During flood conditions, it restores what the flood removes, a shared ground plane, and in post flooding conditions, this public ground becomes a formwork for bamboo reinforced concrete construction.

GAINING LAND_jakarta, indonesia

The various planning stages of our project allow us to react to different requirements, such as first emergency relief in case of flooding, but as well to expand those structures to floating settlements. The technical requirements are met with simple mechanisms and the whole supply structure is self-sufficient and based on synchronized natural cycles.

Futuristic Floating Residents

Sea level rising in coastal cities have a negative impact on the lives of residents. Findings support the argument that traditional land reclamation methods are not a practical long term solution apart from its various disadvantages on the ecosystem.Our approach to solve this problem was to adapt to environment and use floating structure against SLR impacts.

Rethinking Resilience

The project embraces flood as a natural phenomena as the premise to imagine the possibility of secure human habitation. With this as the central idea, the project defines resilience to be two fold- 1.to be prepared before flood. 2. sustenance and recuperating post flood scenario. In its execution, the project encapsulates this idea at three distinct scales.
