"Edge Of Tomorrow: A Replicable Model For Flood Protection"

Sea level rise and storm surge floods create drastic changes to urban coastlines around the world and redefine how millions of people interact with the threshold between water and land.

Downtown Miami has few connection points for pedestrians to interact with the adjacent Biscayne Bay and the low seawall along the city's edge is not sufficient to stop heavy inundation.

An opportunity arises for a new flood protection system that maintains the possibility for human connection to the water while providing ample flood protection when needed.

Edge of Tomorrow is a modular, deployable system that prioritises permeability of sight and human habitability – its inflatable technology mitigates flooding when needed and redefines how pedestrians experience the edge.
