AMPHIBIO

According the IPCC report a temperature rise of 3.2℃ is predicted to happen by 2100, resulting in a sea level rise of 60 - 210 cm. Such scenario will possibly affect between 0.5 - 3 billion people and submerging the megacities situated in the coastal areas. AMPHIBIO is a 3D printed amphibious garment which function as a gill. Designed for a future where humankind lives in very close proximity with water, it provides daily comfort to people who spend as much time in the water as on the land. Although the dystopian connotation of a flooded world, this project proposes a more optimistic vision of such future, where human could live in an amphibious manner by virtue of the gill garment; a world with peaceful touristic dives in the neighboring church, or a night dives in the vivid streets. photo: Junkan Tateisi
