The city has become a bubble of protection that we have created to shield us from the natural environment, but with my intervention, I am trying to create a needle to penetrate the built environment and establish a relationship between the two. The two elements will work together to activate one another. Architecture has an overwhelming power, especially at the waterfront. For many years architecture has been slowly overtaking the area where water should reside interrupting its natural flow and creating hard edges with little connection to the water. Thus, I am proposing that we should soften the edges of the waterfront giving water more freedom to penetrate the land. The architecture will allow the water to guide its formation therefore allowing nature to command how one would navigate though the spaces. To accomplish this the structure will enhance the conditions found at the waters edge providing spaces that are level with the water. Spaces where the water can overlap the structure, and spaces where water can continuously flow through the structure. Thus enabling water to display its power and natural beauty as we see in the architecture along the water.
