Environmental Art Installation / Zero Metre Above Sea Level 20000

July 10, 2025

Scotland is now experiencing relative ‘Sea-level Rise’. All future projections expect the rate of this rise to speed up due to climate change /rising ocean temperatures.[1]
The global mean sea level rose by 3.6mm per year from 2006–2015.[2]
Estimated global mean ‘Sea-level Rise’ in the next 100 years is around half a metre.[3]
There are local variations in sea level rise which have important effects on the UK.

David Chipperfield's IMPACT Centre Offers a Contemporary Interpretation of Edinburgh's Georgian Fabric

August 28, 2018

David Chipperfield Architects have released new details of their proposed IMPACT Centre in Edinburgh, Scotland. Addressing the need for a purpose-built, medium-sized performance venue in a city of profound cultural heritage, the scheme will serve as a base for the Scottish Chamber Orchestra with a main, 1000-seat auditorium.

Situated in Edinburgh’s UNESCO World Heritage Site, the scheme will replace an existing office building to become the first dedicated new space for music and performing arts in the city in 100 years. The scheme seeks to “form an urban composition centered around Dundas House,” a 1771 Grade-A listed civic building whose rear façade abuts the proposed scheme.
