Abstract

Due to climate change, the sea level is rising, posing a potential threat to the protective dikes in Groningen. In the next century, we might not be able to rely on these structures anymore. As a result, it becomes crucial to reimagine our architectural design strategies, anticipating a future where water might play a more prominent role in our everyday living. Moreover, in addressing the environmental challenges posed by climate change, it is essential that we transition towards a greater reliance on renewable energy sources. The integration of water-conscious design and increased utilisation of renewable energy are crucial steps toward creating a more sustainable and adaptable living environment for generations to come.
