Leaving behind the 2011 natural disaster, a new city rises from the ashes, designed to withstand future tsunamis strikes.
The city evolves to a new studies and production HUB, where those interested in creating new green energy production technologies can come to develop their research. Four of the previous reactors are recycled to provide the city with food from its vertical crops, drone delivered locally and abroad.
A greenbelt surrounds the city, allowing its animal and human population to live in harmony, giving back a tiny territory which was previously taken from the native flora and fauna. The ribbon, a circuit across the green belt that connects a series of activities and infrastructure, both for humans and animals, constitutes a very important function, by walking, running, skating or riding a bicycle on it, kinetic energy is harvested by the community to power up the city.
It is of paramount importance to have a space to remember and reflect on the past, that’s the objective of the 2011 Memorial Coastline-park. The massive Tsunami-Weakners, made by the Plant debris, not only do they harvest energy, but are also in charge of absorbing part of the tsunami impact force.
