Circular Narratives

Thirty years have passed, our planet has changed beyond recognition. Sea levels have risen and penetrated the city blocks nearest to the ocean, the weather patterns have changed, food and potable water is scarce, monkeys are invading the city, the supply chain is in crisis and people have developed new ways of thinking and living.

–  Localized autonomous communities are producing their own food.
–  Aquaponics surround the city blocks, raising marine life and salt-tolerant plants.
–  Aeroponics cover buildings, mitigating the heat island effect and growing food.
–  Food is distributed to each according to his/her commitment.
–  Walkability of the city occurs in the upper stories through elevated bridges.

Food Island Co-op is a project of IAAC, the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia developed during the Master in Advanced Architecture 2021/2022 by students: Oscar Cortés Landa, Alessandra Weiss, Yerwant Megurditchian, Jett Demol, Faculty: IAAC
