Barnacle Living
An Adaptive Re-Use Strategy for the Innundated High-Rise
ADAPTIVE RE-USE OF EXISTING STRUCTURES
Adaptive Re-Use Strategies
Building envelopes, bridges, and other types of infrastructure will present opportunities for adaption. In the event, that the pre-existing buildings, towers, bridges, and other types of infrastructure become no longer suitable for their intended use, the barnacle-living adaptive re-use strategy will be implemented.
For example, housing units, public spaces, farming spaces and energy production zones can start to use the foundation, interior, and exterior spaces that the building envelope provides.
The housing units can start to form community clusters on the exterior of abandoned residential towers and use their interior spaces for pedestrian paths, vertical farming and energy production zones.
