The project is a rendition of a newfound Lagos in the year 2054, beyond the climate crisis of a rise in sea levels and brazen hot temperatures. It highlights a new dawn that dramatically represents the new era which brings about an amalgamation of old traditional typologies and environments with new advanced technologies to create a new urban utopia. The proposal comprises of a self replicating physical architecture which is developed to exist as a system for continual evolution by composing as an adaptation of informal spaces. In which various prototype components are envisioned to harness the growing ocean waste as an environmental resource to create new advanced materials for its continuous construction. The project is an urban fiction intervention that stands as an experimental Utopian vision for which technology can be utilised in tandem with culturally driven narratives with a thematic rendition of the sheer resilience of the city’s people and culture.
