Building for a flooded future: Architects are designing for the new climate reality
Shenzhen, Dapeng, China
CNN Style features our Typhoon-Proof East Coast Shenzhen project.
Aaliyah Harris’ article 'Building for a flooded future: Architects are designing for the new climate reality' quotes a 2019 study warning that global vulnerability to sea-level rise and coastal flooding is much higher than previously estimated. If anything, the damages of the 2020 typhoon season remind us that the issue of sea-level rise and coastal flooding is indeed a pressing global concern that needs our urgent attention. Shenzhen East Dike is listed as one of "[...] some of the world's most innovative flood-resilient designs."
In May 2020 the demonstration zone in Yangmeikeng has been finished and other parts of the plan are in various stages of construction. Shenzhen East Dike project is a collaboration with KCAP.
