Rising sea levels caused by climate change will affect all life on earth and change the landscape we know. Álftanes is the flattest part of the capital area in Iceland and have already experienced problems related to the rising sea. In Iceland the method of stacking big stones has been used for sea defenses. My project is to design a waterscape that does not separate you from the sea, but on the contrary brings you closer to it. The border between sea and land becomes more unclear and you experience the sea in a new way. Along this landscape there will be artifacts that will allow you to experience the sea in a way that you haven’t before.
