Witness history being made in the San Francisco Bay
Come celebrate the launch of the Buoyant Ecologies Float Lab, a cutting-edge prototype for climate adaptation research that creates habitats for diverse sea animals in the middle of San Francisco Bay! The Center for Impact and Architectural Ecologies Lab at California College of the Arts are hosting a public launch celebration at Oakland's Middle Harbor Shoreline Park, on Saturday, September 21. The event will feature a community hot dog picnic, a marching band, DIY kite-making and coloring, and remarks by Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, project supporters, and stakeholders. All are invited!
Recent coverage of the project by Louis Bury in Hyperallergic: "The Buoyant Ecologies Float Lab--a contoured, bean-shaped white buoy, approximately 13 feet by 8 feet long--looks like a cross between an ice floe and an alien pod. In fact, the buoy is a human-researched structure whose design evidences the importance of the artistic imagination for developing an architecture adequate to the planet's climate future."
1:00 pm: Arrive for Ceremonial Procession, marching band, and kite flying
2:00 pm: Community Picnic with food & refreshments; DIY kite stenciling, marine life coloring book, marine animal fashion show activities
2:30 pm: Official remarks by Mayor Libby Schaaf and Distinguished Guests
3:00 pm: Grand Ribbon-Cutting and Celebratory Cake Sculpture
