Video: Drift&Drive ı The Petropolis of Tomorrow | InfraNet Lab - a podcast by The Architecture Post

This video entitledDrift and Driveis part ofThe Petropolis of Tomorrow, a project designed byInfraNet Lab. For this project, the team is composed of principal architect Neeraj Bhatia, with Joanna Luo,Weijia SongandAlex Yuen.

I'm currently editing a very long interview withNeeraj BhatiaonThe Petropolis of Tomorrow,and Recon-Figure, a project he designed with his another firm The Open Workshop. We also will be talking about other topics related to land-based urbanism, water-based urbanism, infrastructure, territorial operations,Bracketand of courseInfraNet Lab andThe Open Workshop.

InfraNet Lab is positioned asLateral Office's lab. It is defined as a research collective exploring the spatial byproducts of contemporary resource logistics. I'm looking forward to knowing more aboutInfraNet Lab as well asThe Open Workshop, in brief, aboutNeeraj Bhatia, who regularly collaborates withMason WhiteandLola Sheppard.

For the most impatient readers, I recommend a look atPetropia the official website ofThe Petropolis of Tomorrow, or… more simply, the best is to wait patiently (let's say within two or three weeks).

Drift and Drive is part of the first phase ofThe Petropolis of Tomorrow, entitledFloating Frontiers. I won't say more.
I will merely post this video of the projectDrift& Drive that explores a new method of building with water, also known as water-based urbanism adapted to resource extraction areas. The project is located in Macaé, Brazil, a shipping village-turned into a booming slick city.
As described in this video, one ofThe Petropolis of Tomorrow's ambitions is to reconfigure the spatial organization of Macaé by establishing an archipelago city composed of a network of floating islands to facilitate the mobility of workers and storage materials as well as the worker's living condition on site.
I'll go back to the project with the interview very soon.
