flooded london

Catching up on some long overdue blogpost drafts …

Ever wondered what a flooded London might look like? Visual powerhouse Squint Opera squeezed out some fascinating images, which were featured as an exhibition during the London Architecture festival this summer.

“The general scenario is set 80 or so years into the future, long after the sea levels have risen. The catastrophic side of the sea coming in has long since past and the five images are snapshots of people going about their lives, having adapted to the city’s new circumstance.”

    Very nice stuff, reminds me of Yannick Monget’s work : http://www.amazon.com/World-Tomorrow-Yannick-Monget/dp/081099318X and of the Diesel Catalogue from somewhere in 2007 : http://www.notcot.com/archives/2007/07/diesel_global_h.php
    Interesting that the guys from squint opera are imagining people adapting to the circumstances, which somehow gives it a Schuiten & Peeters’ “Les cités obscures feel” http://www.urbicande.be/ :-)
