I don't know what MVRDV are doing, but what I will do! I am a student of architecture and I ‘m going to propose a project on the coast and in the sea. This project will inhabit activities for the local people and the visitors. The main aspect of this project is to promote ideas of building in the sea and on the coast without damaging them but revitalizing them. I 'm trying to find materials and construction ways of doing it! I will like to ask if anyone knows in which direction to make my research in order to find the appropriate information and have the best result. HI!

One third of the country lies under sea level, to take the bet is just not an option. Since a great flood in 1953 there have been continuous improvements, formerly through the Delta Works, and the currently through the High Water Security Program (hoogwaterbeschermingsprogramma). There are also specially elected governmental bodies that are exclusively dedicated to Water Management (Hoogheemraadschap) The possibility of rising sea levels has been acknowledged by the Dutch already about 30 years ago, and all necessary measures are now in place.

It's easy to start all over again on the edge (in the water) of the city. Why not looking for a more urban solution within the existing stucture. Construct a city.

To extend this peripherical condition in the sea is a waste of money and open space...
