In a future in which technological revolution will preside over many various factors of life, the adaptation of such is essential to the productive developments of urban infrastructures that not only responds to environmental challenges but also the general welfare of the people.

The project sets up a rendition of a newfound Lagos in the year 2054, beyond the climate crisis of a rise in sea levels and brazen hot temperatures. It highlights a new dawn which dramatically represents the new era that brings about an amalgamation of old traditional typologies and environments with new advanced technologies to create a new urban utopia. The proposal comprises of an urban spatial narrative that is structured across the cityscape. Piloting in the heart of the city as a multidimensional development that encapsulates social clusters in and around a lost market site, combining the functions of social rehabilitation and production of advanced materials for new urban structures that are propagated across the informal landscape of the city. These infrastructures serve as a self-replicating physical architecture which is developed to exist as a system for continual evolution, by composing as an adaptation of informal spaces that provides a spatial response for the rituals of culture and production.
