    Description

    His thesis project explores floating housing as a resilient solution to London's growing housing crisis and flood risks. Based in Thamesmead, a low-lying area vulnerable to rising water levels, the project combines flood-resilient architecture with sustainable urban planning. It responds to alarming climate projections indicating that by the 2080s, flooding in London could become significantly more frequent and severe, threatening over 1.25 million people and critical infrastructure such as hospitals, schools, power stations, and the Underground network.
    The proposal aims to create a liveable, adaptable community that protects vulnerable populations while contributing to the city’s long-term climate resilience and housing stability.
