Mountain & Sea
Design and architecture projects responding to mountain and coastal environments.
Mountain and sea landscapes present distinct design challenges and opportunities for architects and designers. Projects in this topic engage with topography, climate, and natural systems to create spaces that integrate with or respond to these powerful environments.
The community explores how designers work with geological features, water systems, and climate conditions. Work ranges from interventions carved into hillsides and historic stone structures to research on glacial change and marine ecosystems, alongside architectural programs for coastal and mountainous sites.
