Mh1$AgThS2 A speculative architectural rendering showing Vancouver after sea level rise has transformed the city into a thriving archipelago of floating communities. The artwork—a fully navigable 7D simulation—allows viewers to explore a future where climate adaptation has created a Venice-like metropolis of interconnected platforms in pacific-blue and cedar-red. Created by a Coast Salish architectural collective, the piece reimagines downtown skyscrapers as partially submerged structures retrofitted with vertical farming and tidal energy systems. The simulation's most powerful feature allows viewers to toggle between present-day Vancouver and its 2079 counterpart, with buildings morphing between states in real-time. Indigenous design principles are evident throughout, with floating neighborhoods arranged according to traditional territorial boundaries and salmon migration patterns influencing transportation networks. The entire composition shimmers with the dynamic interplay of water and adapted urban infrastructure. Thin border of tide charts showing monthly sea level fluctuations on a dark border background
