Research output: Non-textual form › Web publication/site

Abstract

A micro web site with summary, launching the process, procedures, distributing briefings and context descriptions nationally & internationally. Over 23th - 25th Nov. 2016, the Portsmouth Elephant Cage brought together seventeen competitively selected young Dutch and British experts in Architecture, Landscape and Engineering to work jointly on a design research collaboration with Masters students from Portsmouth School of Architecture MUD Studio 5. In three teams, over three days, they prepared three designs in answer to a comprehensive briefing, for the Portsmouth Southsea frontage, that responded to climate change induced rises in sea levels and the coastal defenses being proposed there; exploring propositions for local and global application. The teams were supported by seven expert design mentors from across the three faculties.
