Our Our ambition with this competition entry was to project forward in time to assess the scale of intervention that is required in Tasmania to address the consequences of climate change and to do so with a project that, at the same time, addresses the causes of human-induced climate change. 

On On advice from the CSIRO on likely climate change impacts over the next 200 years the building offers densification of the urban environment to minimise the impact of commuting, elevation to counter flooding and to provide shading of the public realm below, mounting for wind and wave generated power generators and a new elevated circulation route between central and north Hobart so that the ground plane can be given over to social and environmental uses like Las Ramblas in Barcelona. 

The The building itself is multi-function, with housing, localised industry, office components and institutional elements such as museums and hospitals, all arranged above, below and around a new elevated primary circulation and power distribution route. 

Exp Exposed vertical surfaces and the roof are given over to green spaces for crop and oxygen production.  This is the scale of intervention that is required over 200 years to address climate change in our built environments.
