Arable Urban Waterways
The Arable Urban Waterways project imagines a future in which polluted waterways become recreational enclaves and self-sustaining community gardens.
Oyster Mountain is a proposal for a recreational farm in Jersey City on the Hudson River. Collapsing processes of consumption (harvesting, eating, leisure) and production (growing, preparing, exercising), Oyster Mountain aims to reunite city dwellers with their most intimate sources of energy and provide them with a vital hand in its production.
Arable Urban Waterways: Gowanus transports the ideas behind Oyster Mountain to the recently deemed Superfund site of the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn, NY, functioning both as an urban plan and visionary proposal for remediation through gardening and recreation.
