AMPHIBIOUS HOUSES FOR RISING WATER LEVEL by Kateamphibian house, amphibious homes, DuraVermeet Amphibious Homes water housing, disaster-proof housing, disaster-proof design, dutch floating houses, dutch aquatic homesThe Dutch have fought their marshy surroundings with clever engineering since the country’s inception, and we’ve seen some impressive “floating architecture” from DuraVermeer and WaterStudio. Now that global warming is fanning the flame: melting ice-caps and raising sea levels, more and more Dutch designers are getting into amphibious architecture. Builder Hans van de Beek’s amphibious houses are an obvious yet genius solution to rising water levels. He explains; “They are pretty much just regular houses, the only difference is that when the water rises, they rise.”

Off-Topic: Aquapocalypse Now!

This past weekend my pal Bob and I went on an epic 300+ mile journey from one end of the vast Lake Roosevelt to the other in an old school motor boat, a journey that I will now think of as “That One Time When That Bear Almost Ate Me.”

Living with Water: Visions of a Flooded Future

The latest Building Futures report, “Living with Water: Visions of a flooded future”, has been published.
 
As part of the RIBA’s combating climate change programme, Living with Water brings together five essays from a range of professionals and futurologists. They each explore our evolving relationship with water, the architectural responses to increasing flood risk, and highlight the emerging opportunity to inject long-term vision and imagination into the development of the Thames Gateway.
 
Our development horizon is stretching further into the future than ever before, largely in response to the challenges of climate change. This publication asks: what are the benefits and opportunities of such a long term vision, and what must be start now to ensure our future communities take full advantage? The report is a collection of thoughts and propositions from a range of commentators, exploring our dynamic relationship with water in the Thames Gateway, looking to the future opportunities and threats that will exist in a world more at risk of flooding, and attempting to uncover what this means for development in the region today.
 
To receive a hard copy of the report, please email the Building Futures team: info@buildingfutures.org.uk
