Living with Water Tours

As members of the Bionic Team for the Bay Area Resilient by Design Challenge, the Studio worked with community- based advocacy groups, including Canal Alliance, Canal Welcome Center, and Resilient Shore, to create the Living with Water tours. This series of public walking, biking, and kayaking tours brought public awareness to the effects of sea level rise on a frontline community where segregation has concentrated its majority Latinx residents, many of whom live below the poverty line, in one of the lowest-lying areas of the San Francisco Bay. These events brought the public into conversation with scientists, designers, planners, government officials, businesses, and advocacy groups who are working to make the San Francisco Bay Area resilient to the climatic challenges ahead. The tours were offered free of charge to the general public, with meals provided. The Bionic Team earned the National ASLA Award of Excellence: Communications Award in 2019.
