Nuisance
Flooding
ABSTRACT
The pattern of sea level rise over the last quarter of the century has been driven in part by human-casued climate change, not just natural variability, according to a study of forced sea-level rise. Using climate model ensemble, scientists demonstrate that forced changes are likely to have contributed significantly to observed rise and that these patterns may persist for decades to come, with increased intensity as climate change progresses.
New research by Richard Ray, a geophysicist at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's Space Geodesy and Geophysics Laboratory, brings up with this concept of nuisance flooding. Before, coastal flooding was predominantly caused by storms, storm surges and rain. But continuing sea level rise is allowing nuisance flooding to occur at fairly normal high tides in some areas.

I'm proposing new lifestyle of this very edge of terrestrial boundary with frequently shifting water levels. Having water comes and goes maximum twice a day, architecture on this edge requires certain flexibilities. With adjustable structure with linear frame elements and tension memebrane, one can experience constantly changing scale of the enclosure. Here are 5 physical constructions under the experiment.
