As the world continued to travel down an unsustainable path of resource depletion and harmful emissions, the effects of climate change had devastating consequences. From 2012 through to 2020 flash flooding became a regular occurrence, with weather patterns becoming more sporadic and severe with harsh droughts between monsoonal wet seasons. Still the ways of the world did not change, and the damage had already been done. As the climate changed, sea levels rose further and further until by 2030 saw 15million people displaced.
This need for survival sparked a global organisation,
'Change' to begin a quest for lifestyle change. Woodford, as advocates of
sustainable living and prime geographic candidates to support a population,
became one of the first areas to trial a self sustaining community.
This village succeeded in sustaining itself and a community
of a couple hundred people using the surrounding areas. The community uses only
the immediate area around it to support all its resource needs and uses the
land appropriately. The architecture and the community develop over the years
to understand the needs of temporary structures and permeability to mitigate
the storms and help keep the land viable.
The Woodfordia 'Sustainable Village' becomes the education
centre, teaching people for 6 months before sending them off to plant new
villages following the same principles.
By 2062 we encounter the
village of Woodfordia and at this time sea levels have risen past 1m and
over 40 million climate refugees are displaced. Woodfordia experiences sporadic
droughts and flash floods. However the architecture has adapted and fewer,
stronger, protected and multipurpose buildings exist throughout the site with
other structures being temporary.
