Beyond the Waves: Exploring Sustainable Futures through Floating Interior Architecture in the Face of Rising Sea Levels

Facing the challenge of rising sea levels due to global warming, I aim to explore the relationship between floating architecture and its interiors. My design approach is to create an entertaining social hotspot that invites both locals and tourists to enjoy Copenhagen's water culture. The concept, "Iceberg Haven," provides experiences at different elevations of the sea level, emphasizing the urgency of addressing this environmental issue. This floating architecture adapts to changing conditions and serves an educational purpose, highlighting the impact of global warming. My thesis delves into these adaptations and the potential for floating structures to educate and engage the public
