The Berring Straits Project asked designers to imagine an element to connect the Russia and the United States. A peace bridge perhaps? Off Architecture were awarded second place for this imagining<\/a> of a sometimes occupied space between two parallel 10 metre walls.<\/p>\n As architects contemplate the perils of global warming marine architecture is emerging as a serious discipline.

The stadium is expected to achieve landmark listing status.<\/p>\n Obviously, marine architecture presents a new challenge to the land-scape profession because imagining a sea-scape and the propogation of corals and algae <\/a>in the enclosed gardens – hortus conclusus – of the ocean is conceptually different.<\/p>\n In the petrified seagarden, Richie Park<\/a>, we are challenged to rethink our ideas about the natural boundaries between land and sea.<\/p>\n
