POPLARS LACK OF

YEAR 1 SOIL -small cuts along contaminated waterfront - condenses contaminated soil

WATER begins to collect in retention zones from the ´ÀOOµ

POPLARS initially planted along freshwater for growth

YEAR 3 SOIL - deeper cuts - mounds expand - begins as buffer to contaminated industry and residential

WATER - extend as irrigation from freshwater source - begin to further catch storm water run off as further irrigation

POPLARS - young planted on contaminated mounds can be replaced - from year 1, poplars can be replanted to stabilize salt water edge

YEAR 10 SOIL - clean soil can be used for edge stabilization - anticipating higher storm surges

WATER - extend infrastructure to dilute salt water poplars

POPLARS - poplars along FW edge can be used for production - stablize edge conditions - further clean mounds

CONTAMINATION

FACADE ASSEMBLY

Our manifesto was to design a building that would seamlessly fit into the cyclical nature of poplar trees and the process of growing, harvesting, and then converting them into their next life. This could be as lumber for structural purposes, CLT for interior partitions, woodchips for compost to heat the building, or nutrients to be returned to the soil for the next generation of poplar trees to grow. The building itself supports this process by being designed as industrial manufacturing space with the flexibility of being turned into housing should the urban footprint be condensed and housing and manufacturing must coexist. The structure is simple to construct and just as easy to disassemble to promote the ideology of an ever changing and growing building. The restrained palate of wood and concrete emulates the surrounding poplar plantation that supports the growth of the structure and system.
