Floatfarm

Floatfarm proposes a community of floating shrimp farms as a means of adapting to the ongoing rise in sea levels of the Mekong Delta, where aquaculture actuates future living in the area. Using counterweight methods of Kochi fishing nets, the project consists of a series of tilting houses hinged to one another through methods of indigenous weaving. Each morning, farmers would engage in a communal effort to shift the weight of their units by tilting the roofs. This operation rotates the units, opens shrimp nets, and widens the community’s canals to allow floating markets to enter.
