The home was tested to its limits and the use of its spaces renegotiated,... Read More about Separateness in the home: From home-ness to work-ness in a post-covid environment.

Amphibious architecture: A biomimetic design approach to flood resilience (2024)
Journal Article
Ameh, H., Badarnah, L., & Lamond, J. (2024). Amphibious architecture: A biomimetic design approach to flood resilience. Sustainability, 16(3), Article 1069. https://doi.org/10.3390/su16031069

Amphibious buildings use the buoyancy principle in the design of their foundation systems to mitigate flood impact. In some cases, amphibious buildings are fitted with mechanical systems that further aid the buoyancy element to temporarily raise the...
