The Wandering Earth project is set to commence in 2075 with the aim of preserving mankind as the Sun approaches its demise. The Earth's surface will be exposed to extreme weather conditions due to the destruction brought by the Earth engines, including storms, tornadoes, flooding, and extreme heat. This project investigates the design of an engineered architecture to effectively respond to, anticipate, and mitigate future extreme weather phenomena, particularly tornadoes and storms. Located on the southern slope of the Beckton Alps in Newham, London, the project comprises various building typologies designed to attract local citizens to the site, maximising their enjoyment before the braking era begins; researching the effect of future extreme weather patterns on buildings; and manufacturing cutting-edge building components to adapt and protect vulnerable structures in Newham.
