--Integrating Sea Level Rise and public space
Sea-level rise
connectivity in coastal design
Type: individual work Time: 2023.05
Public space size
Sea level rise due to climate change has made coastal populations and industries more vulnerable to flood risk, while coastal communities lack effectively organized public space structures. Port space planning and terrain redesign based on resilient design can effectively alleviate these two problems.
Public space density
Through spatial analysis, it can be seen that in this area, the site where the cross is located faces multiple problems, such as sea level rise, single spatial structure, etc.

Research focuses on topography affecting runoff while increasing resilience.
Apply landform typology to site
Landform typology change
landform generation process
Radiant rays emanate from major historical sites to generate patterns
Determine the outline of the pattern according to the site
Changing the shape and density of the pattern, we can see a change in runoff structure and a change in the effect of stagnant water when sea level rises.
From the inside out, the terrain is generated and gradually rises
Soften edges and terrain to simulate natural forms
Effects: Less landform can help hold more water, more landform can expand the spread of runoff.

Landform zone Basin landform zone Tidal landform zone Overwashed island zone Base
The final design will generate zones with three different landforms. The overwashed island zone can reduce tidal erosion; the tidal landform zone is submerged when the tide rises to slow down the impact; the basin landform zone can save water resources for use.

Park
Greenway
Waterfront zone
The park near the residential area can provide different spaces for kinds of use.
Greenway helps to connect the park near the residential area and the waterfront zone far away from residential area, also the factories and buildings inside the port.
Gradient landform and group of island allow the tide to submerge and recede, adopting the sea level rise while accumulating organic matter.
It makes up for the lack of large open spaces in that area. And it greatly facilitates the flow of people, improves walking accessibility and comfort, and connects the broken site into one.
Longitudinal section
It greatly facilitates the flow of people, improves walking accessibility and comfort, and connects the broken site into one.
It consists of three parts: overwashed island, tidal landform zone and basin landform zone. Each of them has different functions, the unique structure and shape of group island will reduce the erosion and adopt the sea level rise; the tidal landform zone also adopt the sea level rise and help improve the resilience in extreme condition; the basin landform zone has best condition and allow to support the limited development, offering diverse space types with pedestrian bridge connected.
