Fish Market and Aquaculture Hub

Built upon an “x” segment of the floating Gerridae infrastructure is a place where both recreational and professional fisherman may mingle. Different species of fish, and aquatic plant life will inhabit aquaculture rings, and wild fish may be caught here as well. The area is full of enthusiasts of the fishing hobby, day boaters, and those looking for a fresh caught meal. Chance encounters between city dwellers may also occur while walking on the public docks between destinations.

It is envisioned that boating culture will be prevalent in District Gerridae - both as a means of transportation, and of dwelling in the city.

This floating architecture is intended to be light, skeletal, and open to its surroundings. Roof lines are angled toward the sun and finished with solar panels. A cantilevered viewing platform extends over the water, again emphasizing the importance of views in the city. Gently sloping ramps between each gerridae section are able to accomodate cyclists and people walking between the various nodes of the district.
