The Dragon Boat-Building School

The design of the school addresses the urgent issue of climate resilience, particularly in flood-prone Tai O. Tai O has experienced significant flooding events in recent decades, with storm surges and rising sea levels posing a continual threat to the community.

By situating the school on a combination of floating and submerged platforms, the project embraces the dynamic relationship between architecture and water, ensuring that the structure can adapt to fluctuating water levels.
