Polarama

This thesis proposes a diorama-inspired floating architecture, designed with a glacial-form block and an elevated platform, that responds to the ecological and spatial challenges of the melting Arctic. The architecture creates interspecies zones that support the coexistence of polar bears, seals, and human activities such as research, photography, and environmental education. Below the surface, innovative structural material functions as coral restoration and ecological scaffolding, enhancing underwater ecosystems and promoting biodiversity. The project acts as an active ecological participant—blurring the boundaries between insider and outsider species, and fostering new forms of interaction and cohabitation.
