The future of our warming world with rising seas levels is the focus of a series of illustrations by New York-based designers Studio Lindfors. In the striking and serene images, the designers explore what New York will look like in a few hundred years time.
The Aqualta Project images are so compelling as they depict communities adapting and thriving to their new environment as opposed to resisting the changing world – a perspective not very prevalent in environmental art or discourse.
Studio Lindfors explains their vision of a tranquil future, “Residents repurpose rooftops for farms and greenhouses. Wetland ecologies and oyster beds thrive and take root to better protect coasts from future storms The cities are shown without combustion – engines, power plants, all emissions are rendered obsolete – resulting in cleaner, quieter neighborhoods. Aqualta reveals an adaptable city infrastructure capable of acclimating to nature.”
