Terra-formation is a ecological reserve designed to preserve the wetlands from the effects of climate change. Located in Marina Del Rey, adjacent to the Ballona Wetlands. We conducted heavy research which helped us develop a dirty map about the effects of climate change from the current year to 2170. The purpose of this project is to relocate the existing wetlands into a plant that will save them by lifting them from the sea-level rise. Creating the EXW (Exile Wetlands) that are protected by a smart shell, this will allow birds to escape too.
