Marine architecture is the design and engineering of structures and vessels that are used in or on the water. These structures include boats, ships, floating platforms, offshore structures, and ports. Marine architects use principles of naval architecture, hydrodynamics, and structural engineering to design safe, efficient, and durable structures that can withstand the forces of the sea. They may also be involved in the development of marine technologies, such as renewable energy devices, underwater vehicles, and ocean exploration equipment.
