The tangible effects of rising sea levels globally have, over the past decade, triggered a growing number of studies on the future of coastal areas and other liminal urbanized spaces between land and water. The boundary between these two materials (liquid/solid, dry/wet), historically designed and conceived as a rigid and unchanging border, is now being read as a transitional space, where water increasingly takes the place of land, with return periods that are increasingly irregular and of unpredictable intensity. According to literature focused on long-term scenarios, the submersion of landand the consequent emergence of wet territories can be seen as an opportunity to rethink current urbanization dynamics (Harvard Design Magazine, 2014), primarily because the absence of stable land should theoretically demand an urban approach more attuned to the ecosystemic dynamics of water, moving beyond the traditional solid/liquid dichotomy—an ontology that is now inadequate to describe these territories.
