When penguins, polar bears and other animals disappear, it will be human's turn. In this way, the works hope to arouse the public's awareness of environmental protection. ⥅

360° Water Barrier Water Barrier by Tay Meng Kiat Nicholas
360° Water Barrier Water Barrier
When flash floods or high tide arrives, the road barrier will move its metal shutter to the other road barrier, creating a line of defence across the flood-prone areas. During low tide periods or mega events, the barrier can be lowered to match the street level for easier crossing. Using the existing road barriers, we can make some improvements to it so as to deter any flash floods or open up to any major events.
