近年來，氣候變化對地球的影響越來越大，但是由於各國分歧過大，這個問題的解決還遙遙無期。那麼，假如氣候變化一直髮展下去，兩百年以後我們的家會是什麼樣子呢？
What our homes may look like in 2219
by Amy Frearson
Design studio Superflux has built a vision of a typical Singapore home in 2219, with features including homemade hunting tools, snorkelling（帶呼吸管潛水） equipment and a mini hydroponic（無土栽培的） farm.

With the installation Mitigation of Shock, currently on show at the ArtScience Museum in Singapore, they have created a fictional home that responds to the issues of "extreme weather conditions, economic uncertainty and broken global supply chains".

The designers see the project as optimistic rather than pessimistic. They hope to show that humans are a resourceful species, able to radically adapt to new situations and environments, and invent new ways of living.

"On a personal level, it can be difficult for people to imagine how an issue like global warming might affect everyday life for our future selves, or generations to come," Ardern said. "Our immersive（沉浸式的） simulation merges the macabre（可怕的） and the mundane as the social and economic consequences of climate change infiltrate（滲入） the domestic space."

At the apartment entrance, visitors are greeted by a kayak（輕便獨木舟） – an essential in a city where rising sea levels have caused the streets to flood. The view through the window reveals what this new streetscape looks like. An aluminium shutter（捲簾） fronts the window, to protect the home during intense storms.

The apartment is filled with various species of plants and fungi（菌類）, as well as insects, in order to create a self-sufficient ecosystem. Computers are used to ensure this system is optimised（優化過的）. There are also various tools in the home for hunting or catching fish, made from repurposed electronics, plastics and other objects. These include spears（長矛） made from old circuit boards and a bamboo snare（羅網）.

"Our current narratives around the climate crisis have created a form of impasse（僵局）, where people feel ill-equipped to tackle the climate crisis because of fear and hopelessness," explained Jain. "Mitigation of Shock aims to show people that other worlds are possible. Together, the city view, the tools, the artefacts, the plants tell the story of adaptation and extreme measures people will have to make to, not just survive, but prosper（繁榮興旺） in a post-climate change future."

hopelessness /ˈhəʊpləsnəs/ n. 沒有希望、絕望（由hope加上表示否定的後綴-less，再加後綴-ness變成名詞）

measure /ˈmeʒə(r)/ n. 措施
survive /səˈvaɪv/ v. 生存
post- 前綴，表示“在…之後”（post-climate change就是“在氣候變化之後的”）
Superflux typically works on projects that explore what life will be like in the future. It was one of the first studios to imagine drones being used in cities for surveillance, traffic control and advertising. However, Ardern describes Mitigation of Shock as "one of the most ambitious projects we've undertaken in our ten-year history of bringing the future to life".
