The Danish Arts Foundation, architecture review, has awarded David Garcia Studio, 100.000 danish kroner to research on the spatial implications of sea level rise in Denmark in general and in Copenhagen in particular, with special emphasis of speculative proposal to such an extreme scenario. Just recently, The Danish Meteorological Institute has in May published a report detailing recent studies for sea level rise in Denmark, predicting a 49cm to 100 cm rise in the next 100 years, much more than previously though.
