Paragraph describing the nature of the project and characteristics as a Research studio.  Here we will present the project in its entirety instead of broken down by the subcategories (water, food, energy, program) to see the relationship each of these subcategories have on a development.  A large part of this page will be dedicated to the analysis of the designs to show how sustainable they really become.

 

Chongqing is situated at the confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing rivers with economic prosperity to the East and abundant resources to the West.
