Cities on The Sea: A Crisis of Limits

‘The North Sea: Transitional Landscapes of Coexistence’ was a joint interdisciplinary graduate design studio (Dalhousie + TUDelft), that focused on the future of urbanization in the transitional territory of the Rhine–Meuse–Scheldt Delta adjacent to the North Sea. In this studio students were encouraged to redefine the role of the territory linking architecture and infrastructure through concepts for ‘the commons’ or the collective. They developed visions for new ‘urban’ linkages and adapted existing infrastructures that are critical to securing urbanity in this low-lying Delta landscape, where the expected consequences of change, such as the extremes of climate, altered natures, shifting land/water borders, automation, immigration and clean energies are predicted to morphologically transform the megalopolis of tomorrow.
