REGEN:NATURE
Created in CAD, Adobe Suite
Situated in Fruitvale, Oakland, this project reimagines the water’s edge at East Creek Point into a functional transportation corridor, reinforcing community connection to the waterfront. Oak groves reinforce the water’s edge, mitigating the increasing flood risk from sea level rise, as well as provide much-needed green space.
“Living concrete”, through its use as a sea wall, revitalizes estuarine habitat above and below the water, sheltering wildlife from sea level rise and allowing for an intermingling of wildlife and human habitats while supporting urban connectivity.
