TITLE - AQUATECTURE 1.1. Introduction Architecture designed to work with water. Water is an important element of nature of the
planet is covered with water, and it is rising. In recent years there has been a growing focus on living with water due to the environmental issues such as depletion of land, rapid
growth of human population, depletion of the energy sources, global warming and increasing water level. The severe risk to coastal cities and
low-lying regions from the sea, is rising faster than scientists have ever predicted.
The only constant in the universe is change, our world is changing, and so is the climate. So why not design for the future scenario, think of flexible design solution Why not build on water? Instead of retreating inland, adaptation strategies should be devised. Anew architectural typology should be implemented. The concept of aquatecture can be introduced as an innovative solution to climate change challenges. Due to the flexibility of site location
that aquatecture allows, this intervention can serve as along- term solution and standard of living within current and projected flood prone areas around the world.
why India needs to worry about climate change? India is a country with huge coastal areas. According to the IPCC report, India stands to be one of the nations most
effected by climate change, given its huge population living near coastal areas. In the Indian context, it is necessary to develop architecture in water.
In near future, cities will be so congested that people will demand to live on the water. Therefore, research and development of new techniques of design and construction is necessary. Structures in water can also be built to increase tourism in India. Increased population and land scarcity would be the major reasons of Aquatecture Development in India.
