Living On The Edge: Landform Resilience, Pt. 1, Lauren Festa
Architecture Senior Theses
The program of a resilience center on the site serves as a way to engage the community with the threat of rising sea levels through education and office facilities, as well as providing a location to double as an emergency evacuation center.

An MBTA ferry terminal supplements the emergency evacuation center, providing an added source of public transit. A square, and a recreation building along the city of Boston's Harborwalk creates an opportunity for the public to engage with the waterfront park.

The proposed digital death spaces merge the traditional idea of ancestral halls with digital information. The Infusion …
