Countries have been adapting to flooding for millennial. However, the time is now that our mindsets should change on how we defend against it. We often think of flood defences as being the big sea walls holding the tide. What we are now realising is that there is a life beyond barriers, natural flood resilience. This campus aims to be at the forefront of this movement. It will act as a precedent for future campuses and communities to co-exist with nature and water. It looks to bridge the gap between nature and water and build a new relationship where humans and nature work together rather than shutting each other out and trying to conquer each other. It will explore the relationship between humans, nature and the ocean. The Wadden Sea can become a precent for the future of national parks and coastal cities with the protection from rising sea levels.
