Some good news for cities at risk due to rising sea levels. Nigerian architect Kunlé Adeyemi came up with a design that can help buildings adapt to the looming threat of climate change.

His work began in the floating community of Makoko in the Nigerian capital Lagos. Many residents live in simple houses built on stilts over a lagoon, which makes them particularly vulnerable to rising tides and extreme weather.

Inspired by local engineering, Adeyemi came up with the “Makoko Floating System”, which allows for buildings to float on water. Its pyramid shape makes it more stable and prevents rainwater from pooling.

On a large scale, Adeyemi hopes that his design can help Makoko, and other places around the world, adapt to the rising sea.
