While there are numerous factors that contribute to the global warming, the reduction of coverage is one of the most significant factors.

As a water planet with an immeasurably complex system of thermal balance, the Earth calls for adaptive solution. Critically, it should be less of a universal proposal, but rather a schematic guideline that situate itself in distinct contexts.

If we can increase the albedo rate of the ocean surface, it maybe possible to slow down the warm-up process. Floating Leverages cover the ocean with different forms and intervention standpoints. Regarding the climate differences between three latitude zones, the proposal deals with different implementation circumstances by adapting different materials including – ice, bioplastic, and plants. Together, they correspond with the adjacent urban environment as screens, beacons, landscapes, and projectors for the awareness of humanity.

Altogether, it is built naturally and returns to nature.

In order to break the vicious circle, a new coverage should be designed. However, there is possible risks of covering the sea – toxicity and over coverage.
Regarding this, a careful investigation into different materials is carried out. The investigation is conducted in six different aspects. After comparison, ice. bioplastic and plants are selected respectively for the high-, mid-, and low- latitude regions.

In high latitude, integrated ice installation is manufactured to mitigate the sea level rise. The whole manufacture process can be implemented completely by hand. A single unit is manufactured with support of frame worked membrane. When water is poured onto membrane surfaces, it forms a water surface and get solidified in freezing weather. The whole fabrication follows a surface-to-surface process.

In mid latitude, compatible bio-plastic blocks are used. Minimal-surface-based form enable us to create different aggregation. Blocks can be assembled in different typologies to satisfy different needs. Different aggregations also contribute to different implementation situations. The hollows in the blocks are spaces for placing lights in the installation, making it possible for the installation to become beacons. In addition, they can form a path-like enclosure and pavilions.

In low latitude, seaweed and moss farm is designed as a multi-functional installation. They tackle the coverage problem by absorbing the heat from sunlight and creates more oxygen for underwater creatures. Seaweed will not cause over coverage since growth is localized within the farm grid. On the other hand, moss farms above the water can absorb heat and radiation from sunlight.
