The Landscape at the Level of Climate Change The tide clock in the Loire estuary

The Loire estuary is one of the many contemporary landscapes that is facing with the consequences of global warming and the consequent rise of oceanic waters which, for a territory where agricultural, urban, social and industrial life is regulated by the tide, we understand is a rather urgent issue. The proposal is, through the manipulation of the morphology of the territory in particular of the area of the Martiniere Canal, to modify and concentrate the hydro-sedimentological processes on the higher altitudes of the soil already existing . In this way we want to preserve the ancient morphology of the territory ensuring at the same time a system of protection on the coastline. The project is a complex system, defined by two characteristic elements. The first element is the wooden lines of poles, arranged on the already existing morphology, the second element is the anthropic element of the footbridges. Seven bridges that transversally connect the new islands ensuring the anthropic life of the landscape. The project definition wants to be the time, the reading of the project is in fact in three phases at a distance of about fifty years from each other in which what appears is only a hypothesis of what the territory will potentially become. We do not work on the anthropic definition but rather on the natural possibilities that a landscape system can tell, where the spontaneity of the balance will be reached in a forecast of about 100 years.
