What if? Metropolis

Final Crit

11 December 2015

The City of Sendsel , in collaboration with the work of Beate Kuhn

The city ahead of you is chalky and matte the once vibrant colours
of the reef now light and pastel, bleached by the sun over the years
of standing proud of the nourishing seawater.
The city's mass is comprised of many coral outcrops, breaching the
surface of the water for miles around, each one differing in spread
and height to the next, and all interlinked by networks of roads and
bridges, some held up on struts built upon the rocky foundations
not far below the surface, others hewn from arms of inter crossing
corals, with driftwood and seaweed suspension bridges creating
pathways in the higher levels of the city, precariously strapped and
tacked into the hollow structures.
