The thesis argues for a resilient community planning and

building system that actively respond to rhythms of na-

ture. It also questions the conventional approach taken

by cities and buildings regarding natural violations, the

behavior of retreating and defending, an act of resistance.

The project attempts to extend retreated inland activities

towards the coast and the unknown realm of water. Cit-

ing Sendai City of Japan as a case of study, the region’ s

flat topography favors urban development but is also

ironically vulnerable to oceanic invasions. Lessons from

past earthquake and tsunami attacks taught the city to

unceasingly fortify seawalls and highway infrastructure,

barricading itself against future disasters. Development

is retreated to the inland, leaving the coastal area aban-

doned and decimating a large number of fishing in-

dustries. The project implemented here seeks to revive

coastal fishing communities that are resilient to natural

elements. A kinetic infrastructure is designed with the

capability to react with daily tidal changes and extreme

water level rises of Sendai Bay. It houses a variety of pro-

grams ranging from industrial needs to urban lifestyles,

which will also adapt themselves to the constantly chang-

ing spatial configuration of the infrastructure, triggered

by water motions according to a natural time-clock.
