jie han\u2019s living with water installation<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

With sea levels along the San Francisco Bay projected to rise dramatically in the coming decades, the question of how to translate this threat into a tangible experience becomes critical. Landscape designer Jie Han explores this challenge with a visionary installation, Living with Water. Rather than resisting or concealing water, the project embraces it as an active participant in daily life, proposing floating architecture<\/a><\/strong> that adapts to shifting landscapes in the future. The intervention is a powerful demonstration of Jie Han\u2019s belief that we can design a future where people not only survive but live meaningfully with water.<\/p>\n

hypernature architecture embraces rising water levels<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The design for Jie Han\u2019s Living with Water installation is guided by the principle of \u2018hypernature\u2019, a concept that intentionally amplifies natural processes. Along the Richmond shoreline, tides fluctuate by several feet each day. Han\u2019s design amplifies these movements through spatial and ecological design, transforming an abstract concept into a visceral, embodied experience. The centerpiece of the design is a dome with a diameter of 23 feet, anchored to the bay floor. Its interior floor, however, floats with the water surface. At low tide, visitors can stand comfortably, but as the tide rises, the floating floor lifts, compressing the space. At high tide, a standing body can no longer be accommodated, translating the daily tidal rhythm into a direct physical experience.<\/p>\n

This prototype is scalable, with larger domes designed for community gatherings and smaller ones for more intimate activities. The network of domes and bridges establishes a new vernacular of floating architecture, integrating social function with ecological performance. Vegetation plays a crucial role in this dynamic. Terrestrial plants root in higher zones, while aquatic plants grow from submerged soils. As sea levels rise over time, the terrestrial plants will be eliminated, allowing aquatic vegetation to overtake the structure. This living transformation further emphasizes the domes as a reflection of rising seas.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The project proposes a cultural adaptation that embraces water as a central design medium, offering a replicable model for coastal cities worldwide and demonstrating how thoughtful design can transform environmental challenges into opportunities for connection and adaptation.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
