Worli Koliwada is currently threatened to disappear under water due to climate change. This project aims to document the situation and the letting the imagination draw the new story. In order to keep the story going, a system that supports the ongoing integration of land and water is proposed. It is made of typology raise over the base of the existing situation aiming to reflect all what is below the surface of the water. When boats become the only way to move, the drowned are lost in sight below their evolving houses all oriented around the core which starts from the villages base where it all began. Though the city and history will be lost in sight they will still kept in memory through the vertical growth of their heritage.
