Investigating the environmentally threatened Lower Ninth Ward in New Orleans, the project explores a flexible system and architecture that accommodates the increasingly turbulent conditions of climate change. Within a one-hundred year time frame, a modular and reconfigurable building demonstrates dynamism tectonically and programmatically. In order to morph over time, the building is equipped with mechanisms that allow for its buoyancy, rising with the water within its scaffolding frame.
