Harbor Station 2042

Hello again!
Wanted to share a new project I've been working on. I've been looking into how our architecture will be transformed within cities that will be affected by the rise of sea levels.
The project helped me explore and use new SketchUp plugins such as Libfredos Joint push pull tool(my personal favorite) which helped to extrude coffer systems of the main roof as well as other elements.
Cheers,
Steve

Cracking image, really sells the project. Are you basing this on the cofferdam principle?
-
Thanks Mike! Hmm, I never heard but I'll check it out!
-
nice atmosphere / style!
-
Thank you Kaas!

https://isleofdogslife.wordpress.com/tag/cofferdam/ This particular use of cofferdams is the one I was talking about but instead of using earth fill, a lower level of water controlled by something like the Thames barrier.

The future of Venezia...
please tell us something more about the process: rendering, postpro.. . -

Wow that's really interesting, I guess hypothetically something like that could be done during the construction phase although it would be very laborious. This platform I was thinking could cantilever off of the existing structure with posts underneath.
Thanks for the share.

please tell us something more about the process: rendering, postpro.. .Venezia is always an inspiration for these hypothetical projects we may see in the near future.
Sure! I used Enscape to render everything. I find it to be extremely helpful and fast when coming up with new ideas and creating light and form compositions.
In Post Pro, I went through several light and color passes to enhance the composition. I especially focused on color composition and complimentaries. Check out Arqui9's youtube tutorials, they're really helpful.

Excellent work!

I doubt any of this is new to you seeing as the Romans and Venetians used it. The use of adjustable levels of water could be used instead of soil which may speed up the process but height of tower may be limited. Enlarged concrete foundations with adaptable buoyancy could do the job but it's theoretical. Yours is a fascinating project, thanks for showing it.

Thank you Bryan K!

Its definitely a unique set of detailing when thinking of all the opportunities and setbacks. Hopefully we don't have to worry about the rise of sea levels in a while.
