FLOATING COMMUNITY RESPONDING TO FLOODS 2

2016 SUMMER D3 Competition Site: Community of Claverito, Iquitos, Peru Responsibility: Renderings, Concept Development

Community of Claverito is a floating community located at the edge of Iquitos, the fifth largest city in Peru. The community is facing serious problems of global warming and Amazon River annual flooding. People in this community need to rebuild their infrastructure every year to correspond to the flood. Moreover, they are losing their public space during every flood season. In the meanwhile, it’s hard for them to access to clean water from the river and the city.

Site Context

System
