Offshore Towers

Institutional projects are the essence of LAIA Stem PBC, dedicated extensively to urban planning on shoreline and land reclamation. LAIA Architecture Office participates developing advanced building accordingly.

The following images are part of an institutional proposal for The New York City Port Authority and Amazon, by LAIA Landboxes and LAIA Architecture Office. The Offshore Towers seek to reduce gentrification pressures, improve the local coastal resiliency, and improve logistics to the existing grid.

This is possible by applying a modular, land reclamation system that allows the construction to be fixed on the seabed at the same time it is deployed.
