The project, "High-Rise Aquatic Metropolise", aims to recreate the feeling of connectivity and look towards a bright future. Focusing on a wider community within an abandoned fishing village, Houtuwan, China, that was once very prosperous and has once again regained its prosperous identity. It aims to show the creation of an environment around the elements of recreation, fusion-like generation play, and interconnection. The design space helps guide people new ways to adapt to a new environment, through going back in time and looking towards the future of what old and new, further creating and experiencing more memories, connections and reflection.
