Idea for Project One

     For this project, I drew a lot of my inspiration from the initial discussions of Venice's way of transportation. For many it is considered a tourist attraction, but for others it might be the way they commute to work everyday. I know a lot of our class is considering a project based on the environment, but I hope to put my own twist on the topic. I also drew inspiration from the Postcards from the future, London by Robert Graves and Didier Madoc-Jones.
     I have decided to focus on what tourism and hospitality will look like in the future. If the ice caps completely melt, then the Earth will have an influx of water. Cities on the coast will be overrun by water and the history and culture of those cities will be lost. Will we be visiting city monuments on aqua-buses and look at only part of a monument? Will we be looking at monuments through glass like we do at aquariums? Will sea life find new homes in monuments? Will these beautiful pieces of art waste away under the constant presence of water?
