marine architecture
{{Short description|Branch of architecture focused on coastal, near-shore and off-shore construction}}
Marine architecture is the design of architectural and engineering structures which support coastal design, near-shore and off-shore or deep-water planning for many projects such as shipyards, ship transport, coastal management or other marine and/or hydroscape activities. These structures include harbors, lighthouses, marinas, oil platforms, offshore drillings, accommodation platforms and offshore wind farms, floating engineering structures and building architectures or civil seascape developments. Floating structures in deep water may use suction caisson for anchoring.[http://learn.org/directory/category/Engineering/Marine_Architecture_and_Engineering.html Marine Architecture and Engineering Careers][http://study.com/marine_architecture_degree.html Study.com, Marine Architecture Degree Program Overviews][http://um2017.org/2017_Website/History_of_Naval_Arch_%26_Marine_Eng.html History of the University of Michigan, Naval Architecture & Marine engineering][http://ntl.bts.gov/DOCS/narmain/narmain.html U.S. Department of Transportation, Naval Architecture: Past, Present and Future]A History of Naval Architecture, By John Fincham
