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 21st. 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!

On April 18, CCA Architectural Ecologies Lab faculty Adam Marcus, Margaret Ikeda, and Evan Jones will join their collaborators in the Public Sediment team for a public meeting to present and discuss the ongoing Unlocking Alameda Creek project. Please join us and our partners to hear more about the project, provide feedback, and learn about the ecosystem of Alameda Creek.

Join the Public Sediment team (including CCA AEL faculty Adam Marcus, Margaret Ikeda, and Evan Jones) for a walking tour of Alameda Creek! Learn about the history of the creek, how it has changed over time, and participate in a community conversation about building resilience to the impacts of climate change. Hear from local experts about the role of sediment, people, and fish within the Alameda Creek, as we walk about 1 mile around its edges.
