Climate Refugee and Post-Disaster Centre (2006)
This project is based on the consequences of global warming will in the city of Guayaquil, with emphasis on floods of great magnitude and intensity. According to studies by Dr. Pilar Cornejo oceanographers and Dr. Jonathan Cedeno ESPOL, estimated an increase of mean sea level, one meter by 2100, based on a conservative scenario. On the other hand, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said that full melting of Greenland ice mass could cause an increase of 7 meters above the sea, while the Antarctic Peninsula produce 5 meters. That is, if we consider a more real, we should take account of the domino effect that would accelerate the melting continental. Proof of this is the premature detachment of the Larsen B Ice Shelf in 2002, something that was not expected so soon.Guayaquil being a city that was born on the banks of the Guayas River and estuary many roads, it was thought appropriate to begin to propose a solution for those displaced by flooding of this kind, or any major natural disaster (earthquake). The proposal would be a great floating disc with a capacity of 2000 people. These habitats would be temporary until you find the right place for these people, since the occupation of territory under any precautionary approach, would these people vulnerable to homelessness. On the other hand, also used as a center for research on the effects of climate change on our environment, as well as a means to educate the public about how to mitigate this potential threat.
