REMPART POPENGUINE

\.24

700 Studio
 _Instructor: Ellen Neises
Building atop the Great Green Wall initiative that seeks to halt the expansion of the Sahara Desert and restore 100 million hectares of the African Sahel, the Dakar Greenbelt studio brings this premise of large scale ecological restoration and reconnection to the rapidly urbanizing
Senegalese capital city. Rempart Popenguine proposes a policy framework that calls for the government and private developers to fund an initiative that mitigates the damage anticipated by a new incoming port construction.

Industrial Anadromy

\.23

500 Studio
 _Instructor: Yadan Luo
Located on the banks of the Delaware River in
North Philadelphia, the design of this public space was heavily informed by a rich narrative of place. Artistic legacies of the shad fishery & working landscape by Thomas Eakins and others took the forefront of inspiration and formal logic of the park. A hatchery system for native, anadromous shad will be placed at the banks of their present and historical migratory route, to ensure their presence for generations to come.
