Cohabital Interventions

‘Cohabital Interventions’ aims to design large and small experimental interventions based on researching wildlife species in Jamaica Bay. Five species were selected, with oysters at the center of the ecosystem. These interventions create homes for wildlife and artificial structures to support them, developing indirect contact zones for Broad Channel residents and the species. The cornerstone of the project was highly inspired by Sarah Gunawan’s ‘Synanthropic Suburbia,’ in which she practiced her idea of coexistence with animals on the envelope of houses. Applying this to the context of Broad Channel, these kinds of devices work as mediators between humans and wildlife, offering a long-term vision of coexistence. This project suggests various prototypes aiming to cohabit with wildlife species in Jamaica Bay during a flooding crisis. The project is explained in two phases: the current situation and, about 100 years later, when the first floor is submerged in seawater, which inspires us to work towards an apocalyptic future.
