88 ESCUELA DE ARQUITECTURA LIVE CORAL - Science & Living District At the global level, climate change has brought with it several transformations, among them the rise in sea level. There are two main reasons this happens: thermal expansion and glacial melting, both caused by global warming. Scientific research emphasizes two important dates for this situation, in 2030 changes in sea level will be felt and/or noticed significantly in all parts of the world, leaving a few years on the way to 2100 where we will have a sea level at its peak. Already for this year they estimate that hundreds of cities will be under flooded areas and many of them will disappear. All this has great consequences for all forms of life on the planet. And it is that not only humanity would suffer the ravages but also the flora and fauna, especially marine life. Sedimentation, the offset of nesting waves, high temperatures, the bleaching of coral reefs and endless situations that leave us with great consequences. The project in Rincón, Puerto Rico, is based on scientific theories and predictions. The LIVE CORAL proposal seeks to provide a safe place for both humanity and marine life. A building is created where marine life can be researched and protected through this process of adaptation to sea level rise. In the same way, human life will have a safe place to live without limiting its quality of life besides creating awareness and educating humanity about these changes and the effects it will have on other species and how this ends up affecting us. The future will always be uncertain and difficult to predict with certainty, however, thanks to the technological advances of our time, there are numerous things that can help us foresee it. For this reason, this proposal seeks a complete adaptation over the years from the present to the imaginable 2100, maintaining its efficiency, quality and use in its best state. wilmaliz santiago vélez bachillerato en arquitectura mentor: arq. pedro a. rosario torres sea level rise rincón (puerto rico) marine life global warming
