The project envisions life in a flooded London within the River Lea area, addressing the critical need to prepare for and adapt to challenges of rising water levels. The project begins with a meticulous site selection process, emphasising the strategic importance of the area as a microcosm of urban resilience challenges.

Through comprehensive site analysis utilising supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms, the team identified suitable locations for interventions aimed at enhancing city resilience, including urban farming, cultural industry development, biodiversity restoration, and improving accessible mobility and public space. These interventions are informed by a diverse range of datasets, comprising population and building density, biodiversity scores, and integration values, to ensure their effectiveness in addressing the challenges posed by flooding.

Design strategies centred around the use of light, flexible, inflatable, and floatable structures are proposed. These offer responsiveness to changing environmental conditions. Ebb & Evolve envisions a more resilient and adaptive urban future in the face of the climate emergency and environmental uncertainty.
