Abstract This thesis proposes interventions for the island of Tsukishima, which faces multiple threats to its historic urban districts brought by climate change and redevelopment, that aim to make the island a more resilient and vibrant district for living and working. A series of interventions aimed at the public realm and waterfront reconnect the island to the sea and offer new public spaces that serve towards community bonding. Guidelines proposed for historic districts aim to preserve the character of these areas, while promoting new activities by targeting historic structures for adaptive reuse and converting vacant lots into community green spaces. This thesis also offers a series of guidelines for new developments that incorporate nature and serve to address climate change. Nature-based solutions for flood protection are proposed to strengthen the island’s existing flood defenses. Together, these interventions and guidelines contribute to the guiding principle of the project – connection the island to nature, its heritage and waterfront setting |
