RISING STRIATIONS

The ever increasing climatic changes affect coastal neighbourhoods like Far Rockaway, NY which stresses the social and economic fabric of the community.

This proposal aims to provide local opportunites for food cultivation, preparation and distribution among other programs to create a self sustaining community. Another layer of education for children has been added in form of the classrooms which can transform into a temporary shelter during a flood.
