Awareness of the deteriorating marine ecosystem in the Little Belt Sea demands dissemination of knowledge. We suggest an architectural connection to the seabed via a floating research institute, residing in three port cities, with focus on sustainable marine preservation. Offering facilities for wet-lab, exhibition and artificial reefs the necessity of a thriving marine biodiversity is exposed.

Master of Architecture, The Royal Academy, Settlement, Ecology and Tectonics

We currently face an ecological crisis, which requires a rethinking of the way we manage our natural resources. The architects of the future must be able to design robust architecture, which creates a close relationship between settlement, ecology and tectonics. Based on an architectural approach, which incorporates critical analysis and experimental practice, this programme teaches students to translate political, social, cultural and technological issues into architectural solutions. The city, settlement and the tectonic logic of structures are the focal point of the studies, in which projects are shaped to form part of a greater circuit of resources, always with totality in mind.
