Entry Description

The Tide Interactive Seaplane Terminal is a concept project, Sea Island, Richmond, Canada. Sea Island is vulnerable to the sea level rise as its most part could be under water by 2100.

The Tide Interactive Seaplane Terminal is thus to study the interaction between water and architecture, and find an architectural solution to the sea level rise in the future. The project examines how the building reacts to tidal water, and evolves into an organism with response to the changing environment.
