Humanity is at the dawn of large upheavals. After having known 10 000 years of a remarkably stable climate, mankind will again have to face climatic changes. Rising waters, amplification of extreme natural phenomena, flooding, etc. Whereas the way of life adopted by the modern civilization has taken part in the dysfunction of the element’s natural cycle, the warm-up consequences can more and more be felt for a world population set up to 50% near coasts. If modern man has always fought against the elements rather than lived with them, it may be time for him to learn how to live better on Earth, beginning by the sea.

Anticipation! Such is Jean-Patrick Favier’s answer.

 At the same time a research centre, a discovery centre, a leisure or training centre Seaway is a floating platform enabling very different populations to discover and learn the future techniques and behaviours of tomorrow’s coastal populations in developed societies.
Fixed to the sea ground with hundreds of cables, Seaway is designed as a bent bow on the sea, the arms of which create and protect activity areas dedicated to research, aquaculture or water sports.
While an under-water lift offers to discover the richness of the depths, an arm enable to experiment on the extreme conditions that the sea can offer.
