Lead ArchitectMinzhi Lin

"Retreating Plan" is a new possibility for the cranberry industry in Massachusetts, in response to the increasing frequency of hurricane saltwater intrusion and the economic crisis of cranberry oversupply. Under the dual pressure of ecology and economy, "Retreating Plan" tries to retrieve wooded swamps through restructuring conflicts, and gradually migrate excess cranberry bogs to bog-based swamp communities with compound production behaviors. In this mutually beneficial transaction with nature, more groups and parties participate in this plan, jointly contribute to sustainable industries.
