Reihe: SpringerBriefs in Architectural Design and Technology

This book provides the first systematic introduction to ocean architecture—the design and construction of buildings and habitats in and on the marine environment. As climate change and coastal urbanization push human settlement into the ocean, the field urgently needs a coherent disciplinary framework. This book fills that gap. Uniquely synthesizing architectural design, oceanography, marine ecology, and engineering, this book equips readers with a transdisciplinary toolkit. It progresses from core concepts and a historical typology through environmental dynamics and integrated design technologies, culminating in a forward-looking agenda for climate adaptation, floating urbanism, and ocean governance. Intended for advanced students, researchers, and professionals in architecture, civil and ocean engineering, urban planning, and environmental science, the book also serves policymakers involved in blue economy and sustainable ocean development.
