So the oyster was the basis for a manifesto-like urban design project that I did about the New York Harbor called "oyster-tecture." And the core idea of oyster-tecture is to harness the biological power of mussels, eelgrass and oysters — species that live in the harbor — and, at the same time, harness the power of people who live in the community towards making change now.
La ideal central de la ostión-tructura es aprovechar la fuerza biológica de mejillones, zosteras y ostiones, especies que habitan en la bahía y al mismo tiempo canalizar la energía de la gente que vive en la comunidad para hacer el cambio ya.
