  abstract     = {{How can urban development take place as close to
the sea as possible, while also creating a sense of
place?

A recurring aspect of many urban situations by
the sea - “urban” meaning a designed and built-up
environment - is that access to the blue spaces is
often limited or compromised in some way.

There are good examples of cities with proximity
to water where the challenges are different from
those along the Scanian coast. Some are protected
by an archipelago, others by lagoons, some are not
as exposed to wind and waves and most places
further north in Scandinavia are lucky that the land
uplift following the last Ice Age is still ongoing,
keeping pace with the sea level rise caused by
global warming. That is not the case in Scania and
specifically not in Malmö.

The measures taken to protect the city from storm
surges or other high-water events often result
in some form of barrier. This barrier can take
different forms: sometimes a levee, sometimes
a greater distance to the water’s edge and in
other cases, sharp edges like a high quay. Can
architecture bridge this division between city and
sea and remove some of these barrier effects?

The purpose of this thesis in architecture is to
explore how one such example of a meeting
between the city and the sea can be designed. A
design that makes the blue space more accessible
without being vulnerable - to the extent it is
reasonable - to the destructive forces of the sea,
not only structurally but also in a way that does not
feel unsafe or uncomfortable.}},
