NOW HERE: A RIVAL CITY

Set in a speculative future, where Europe continues to become more insular and the predicted number of global migrants increases as a result of a tumultuous climate, Now Here becomes an anarchic extra-territorial city that exists outside of the geopolitical framework. The establishment of a floating city becomes revolutionary, moving to the migrants and becoming self-sufficient through the harvesting and purification of water, inhabiting the semi-industrial relics resulting from the fall of Oil. The project juxtaposes scales of spaces, from the industrial processes required to allow a city to function to the idiosyncratic nature of everyday life and inhabitation.
