PROJECT 01 The Last Land

The project proposes to build a floating city in East Boston in 100 years when the sea level rises 10 feet. While most of the neighborhoods would be affected by the rising sea level and climate change as time goes on, the high land on the hill would be the last land in the whole area.

As the last area of natural soil, the high land will be kept green. The flooded buildings will no longer be inhabited, and the roofs will be planted to serve the floating city built on the shoreline. The floating city will consist of a number of floating units, each of which will contain a complex of architecture with housing, services, hospitals and schools.
