Abstract
The global warming crisis is threatening global cities, with rising waters. Rising water can threaten people’s lives and property. Without direct action and forward thinking in the architecture profession the built environment will be in danger. Floating and amphibious architecture options should be explored as a new way for low-income residents. This proposal will explore options in San Francisco, California, an area that has experienced flooding, and will face rising waters if the climate crisis is not solved. Modularity for easy construction and low costs will be explored.
