An investigation into how architecture can insert itself into the conversation of protecting coastlines through built infrastructure. Using Plum Island, MA as a case study for the application of the thesis idea, an offshore storm watch center is proposed to be built into an offshore breakwater that would serve to protect the coastline, naturally collect sediment for beach replenishment, and support the fishing community of the local town. Concrete tetrapods are used as structure, with the form of the storm watch center responding to the existing rigid aggregation qualities found in the tetrapods themselves.
