Coastal Resiliency

Landboxes specializes in creating coastal systems and master-plans designed to protect shorelines from the effects of climate change. These systems range from creating ecosystems to strategically placing construction units to reduce the impact of storms. Master-plans use various strategies, including retrofitting buildings, resettlement, and anticipatory design. Climate change causes flooding and erosion, leading to a decline in real estate value. Landboxes offers innovative solutions to protect the value of shorelines and help clients adapt to the changing environment.

Landboxes

"Landboxes" is a modular, water-based infrastructure for coastal development that reduces social pressure and ecological impacts while lowering operational costs. It enables a faster and more secure process at every stage of its development.

Landboxes - Mumbai

Landboxes Mumbai utilizes the modular system to reclaim land in the rapidly expanding city. The hollow structure of Landboxes enables the city to build new underground infrastructure, with a cheaper and more eco-friendly construction method.

Landboxes - Offshore Towers

The Offshore Towers in Manhattan use Landboxes land reclamation system to expand and protect against future storms while also creating green spaces. Landboxes serves as a hub for new infrastructure networks like logistics, farming, waste management, and transportation.

Landboxes - Space Port

Landboxes provides a platform for launching rockets for space exploration, offering flexibility in the location of the launch platform and infrastructure, either at sea or on land. This is an essential service as the industry continues to grow, with demand for launching micro-satellites.

Erosion Urbanism

Erosion Urbanism proposes an alternative urban planning to grow the atoll islands of Kiribati, which are threatened by current climate pressures. The plan includes landscape design to regenerate ecosystem services, urban planning to control erosion.

Symbiotic Infrastructures

This project uses the infrastructures proposed by Duterte in Manila to improve flooding resiliency by leveraging the viaducts and bridges for community and public use. Specifically, the North-South Railway Project viaduct is reconfigured as a symbiotic, site-specific intervention in a green area between Valenzuela, Malabon, and Caloocan neighborhoods.

Sovereignty on Stilts

Sovereignty on Stilts shows how coastal vernacular culture, rich in solutions for challenges of sustainability and resiliency, is hindered from reaching international acclaim by its poorly representation in the public media.
