Clumsy on earth, his dam allows him to reach trees and move easily by swimming thanks to the raised level of the water.<br><a href="http://www.liberation.fr/terre/2010/05/07/le-plus-grand-barrage-de-castors-decouvert-grace-a-google-earth_624882" target="_blank">http://www.liberation.fr/terre/2010/05/07/le-plus-grand-barrage-de-castors-decouvert-grace-a-google-earth_624882</a> (written in French)	Andy Goldsworthy is one of the most important artist of Land Art. He creates site-specific and integrated sculptures, reorganizes nature and lets it take over his work.<br> <a href="http://www.goldsworthy.cc.gla.ac.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.goldsworthy.cc.gla.ac.uk/</a>
Nils Udo and some of his installations linked with water. He is a german visual artist often linked with the Land Art movement but he wants to distance himself from it, he wants to enhance the liveliness of nature and not use it.<br><a href="http://www.greenmuseum.org/content/artist_index/artist_id-36.html" target="_blank">http://www.greenmuseum.org/content/artist_index/artist_id-36.html</a>	"Estuaire" is a group of installations, an artistic adventure realized in 2007, 2009 and 2012. Thirty works took place in situ in Nantes, Saint-Nazaire and along the 60km of the Loire estuary. Some of the creations are ephemeral and others set up permanently to create a tour, open to visit all year long.<br><a href="http://www.estuaire.info/fr/" target="_blank">http://www.estuaire.info/fr/</a>	The dark side of consumption: the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch" is an area in the North Pacific Ocean where non-recycled waste, thrown away in the ocean, is gathered (bottles, plastic bags,...). Most of them are under water, so it's difficult to estimate the real size of this sheet of trash. Today, some associations and architecture projects try to stop this phenomenon.
"Open Sailing" enounces the idea to create an international ocean station. An organic architecture that constitutes a laboratory for techno-social experiments. <br>You can watch the video which presents the project with this link: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3IS94Z2RZw" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3IS94Z2RZw</a>	The Channel Tunnel is a 50,5 kilometers long underwater tunnel that connects England to France. It is composed of two tubes for trains and one smaller smaller for services. It is exploited by Eurotunnel, a Franco-british society. It is actually the tunnel with the longest underwater section in the world (followed by the Seikan tunnel connecting the Honshu and Hokkaido islands in Japan). The tunnel was inaugurated May 6th, 1994.	The traveling research station, "Haley VI" in Antarctica done by the architect Hugh Broughton was designed for 8 people to live in yearound. Built on skis, it is equiped with hydraulic pistons to foresee the rise of the snow according to the seasons.
Central wave system Pelamis. Place for experimentation in Orkney, Scotland. This system is composed of semi-emergent cylinders interconnected by hinges that transform the movements of the ocean into energy via the cylinders.<br>This link will bring you to the explanation of the different methods used to harness energy from waves:<br><a href="http://www.ecosources.info/dossiers/Pelamis_energie_vague" target="_blank">http://www.ecosources.info/dossiers/Pelamis_energie_vague</a>	A barrier against floods is a fluvial job that derives from the valve with the goal of preventing an upstream zone on a river from being flooded by the tides and the storm surges coming from the ocean. On the left, an image of the IHNC Surge Barrier in the East of New Orleans. On the right, two images of the barrier of the Tamis in London.	Even on water there are disused places. Here are some pictures of abandoned British Sea Forts built during World War Two by the British Royal Navy. The Maunsell Sea Forts still stand today, a few meters above the North sea, not far off the coast of eastern England.
