ReefScape
Peter Pham, Maria Ulloa
With the San Francisco Seawall being considered for retrofitting, ReefScape proposes a solution that creates an interface between people and the ecosystem within the Embarcadero. The modular design creates a porous soft edge along the piers and a habitat for oysters by using novel biomaterials.
Mussel City
Mithila Jagtap, Cristian Laurent
To provide an optimized habitat for mussels in the contaminated waters of the San Francisco Bay, Mussel City creates an exterior modular column that attaches to the legs of the San Francisco piers, a common resting place for the mussels.
Vertical Shore
Joshua Eufinger, Lori Martinez
Vertical Shore seeks to mediate the loss of spawning habitats for the Pacific Herring by creating a vertical system that reinforces the human infrastructure of the San Francisco Bay while creating a bridge between existing beds of eelgrass.
