| Abstract |
Global warming, which has accelerated since the 20th century, has led to significant rising sea levels, heavily impacting human society. To
address this issue, various global initiatives, including marine urban planning, are being implemented. However, most current methods focus
on migration and defense, requiring constant redevelopment and compensation. This study proposes a sustainable and monolithic compliance
approach as an ideal architectural response. The study aims to identify architectural characteristics of marine cities that can respond to
disasters by analyzing realized marine buildings. Ocean buildings, a form of compliance suitable for rising sea level scenarios, were viewed
as an ideal response. To achieve this, 97 cases of marine buildings were investigated, and categorized into tourism, research, residential,
non-residential, and marine cities or complex residential complexes. Their locations were mapped based on elevation and population density.
Next, the architectural characteristics of marine city planning types were analyzed to determine forms responsive to rising sea levels. Cases
along the coast and those with a total floor area of less than 10,000㎡ were excluded, resulting in six primary marine city cases using the
compliance method. This study aims to raise awareness of sustainable marine building practices and provides detailed data for future
architectural research and technological development in response to rising sea levels. |
