MILWAUK JOURNAL SENTINEL, JANUARY 1ST, 2075 *CONTACT THE JOURNAL SENTINEL FOR INQUIRIES* CA ING HUMBLE CITIZENS OF MILWAUK YOU WHO MIGRATED HERE WHEN YOUR HOME WAS SWELTERING, WHO CAME WITH A DREAM! WHERE IS YOUR DREAM NOW? YOU, WHO MOVE SUBCONCIOUSLY TO THE MORE DESIRABLE PARTS OF THE CITY STI REMAINING, ONLY TO S THEM SLIP FROM YOUR FINGERS WITH EACH PA ING YEAR. YOU, WHO FEAR EACH DAY THAT OUR ENERGY RESOURCES WI ONE DAY NOT M T THE DEMANDS REQUIRED TO COUNTERACT THE VICIOUS HEAT. THE MILWAUK DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS CA S UPON THOSE BOLD ENOUGH TO PURSUE THE DREAM OF A VIABLE FUTURE FOR THEIR CHILDREN AND IS PREPARED TO PROVIDE AN INITIAL $20,000 STIPEND ALONG WITH A YEARLY SALARY STARTING AT $80,000 FOR THOSE WHO EMBRACE THE CAR R OF A HEAT FARMER. JOIN A CAR R THAT INFUSES MEANING INTO YOUR LIFE, THAT YOU CAN WEAR PROUDLY AS A BADGE OF HONOR. JOIN THE MOVEMENT TO HARVEST A OF THE HEAT AND CARBON DIOXIDE OUR PREVIOUS GENERATIONS HAVE LEFT US, AND TRANSFORM IT INTO BEAUTIFUL HOMES AND LANDSCAPES IN WHICH YOU WI LIVE AND THRIVE. CU ENT OPENINGS IN HORTICULTURE, LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT, BUILDING CONSTRUCTION, ARCHITECTURE, ELECTRICAL ENGIN RING, CIVIL ENGIN RING, EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE, AND MORE! REALIZE YOUR DREAM. BE A PION R. TAKE ACTION. JOIN THE HEAT FARMER MOVEMENT. It is the year 2075. Droves of climate migrants have made their way to Milwauk from warmer regions. 1 2 3 But upon iving, they have not se led in of what we consider Milwauk today. While the climate here is more temperate than regions further south, it sti reaches uncomfortably hot temperatures during the su er season, which lasts longer and longer due to tra ed carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The shoreline has moved inward due to rising water levels, and the co ercialized areas of the city today – vast concrete stretches of what were once big box stores and parking lots where it was once safe to leave parked cars have but abandoned. Even the friendlier temperatures of future Milwauk do not ly to these spaces, as their heat island ect already today, especia in redlined areas, has further exacerbated to the point of uninhabitability. Not only has the population of Milwauk increased significantly, but faces density ues as people cram into areas away from the shoreline and previous development, prompting over-development of new housing in select areas, which leads to further heat island ects, which now come about more easily. The new inhabitants then disperse only to repeat the damage elsewhere, desperate and unsure of how to solve the ue. is hard to halt the domino ect after so much damage has already done. That said, inhabitants are natura motivated to move into gr ner areas where temperatures wi be lower, even if means risking damaging those areas through over-development with traditional construction methods until they become uninhabitable. Why, logica would anyone want to se le abandoned areas of the city that are no longer inhabitable to begin with? Although public sentiment on the whole has yet to shift, handful of radical inhabitants of Milwauk – “pion rs” have su fu designed and implemented aspects of “regenerative biogenic colonies” on abandoned co ercial parking lots. They have omplished this by harvesting heat. The Milwauk Department of Public Works has recognized that the heat island ect on abandoned stretches of concrete in the city reducing the amount of land available for sustainable development incrementa each year as temperatures continue to rise. Since the heat farmers have utilizing ways to actua reduce carbon dioxide in the air and lower air temperatures while rese ling these stretches of land, the Milwauk Department of Public Works had decided to provide an economic incentive program for inhabitants of Milwauk living in traditiona y-constructed areas to take on the car r of the heat farmer and move to new regenerative biogenic colony the city. What’s the catch? The catch is that they are charged with cultivating intentional co unities based on we ne through the catalyst of heat, through model that is now nece ary for the continued existence of the human race. As such, the heat farmers and their families are now compensated for doing their job. And they get to live beautiful biogenic homes amidst lower temperatures as they their co unities expand. This project explores the year-round tasks of the heat farmers, their biogenic structures, and the form and function of the co unities they sculpt. They consider the exce heat and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to be an overabundant crop, and transform in ways that regenerate net-positive output of electricity, along with organic building and landscaping materials such as timber, compost, biochar, and ra ed earth which then serve to expand their colonies of clean living on these abandoned lands. Their regenerative orts have even lowered the average air temperatures within their colonies by creating new gr oases by transforming heat and byproducts from chemical conversions of carbon dioxide into new landscapes. Slowly but surely, few of these new regenerative biogenic colonies have gained traction, although in sma numbers, and some have begun to su ly exce electricity to the desperate co ercial entities traditiona y-developing areas of the city. The daily tasks of heat harvesting, read: transformation, are time-intensive and year-round, so without intervention only people with means could adopt this lifestyle, which is entia fu car as heat farmer. Heat farmers as these pion rs like to ca themselves –may take on any subset of tasks within the co unity, including but not limited to landscaping, maintenance of carbon dioxide extraction and conversion equipment, gr nhouse maintenance, timber proce ing, design, and construction. In turn, they merit to live healthy lifestyle whose benefits extend to the city around them.
