The project’s climate-resilient design tactics include ecosystem regeneration, a sculpture park and an educational space on Copenhagen’s harbor front. Starting with the underwater ecosystem adjacent to the site and moving inland through salt marsh, wetlands, meadow, urban agriculture, and forested zones, the design will apply resilient design tactics to the site’s intersecting ecosystems to educate visitors about the magnitude and challenges of climate change.application/pdfen-USnonearchitectureClimate Changecopenhagensculpture parkLandscape architectureArchitectureLandscape architectureThesis
