Stage 2: Re-usable Infrastructure. 2-3 years Operating in tandem with the island intervention, a new pier is constructed at the site of the new mainland settlement. Designed along an industrial cargo track, the pier acts as a staging ground for the reception of pre- fabricated houses from Vancouver. Island houses are brought across the estuary, received at the end of the pier, and transferred onto the cargo track, which deposits them at their assigned staging area. Here the island houses are broken apart, and the anchors are removed and transferred into their new pre-fabricated house shells. Since the pre-fabricated shells have very few interior walls, the anchor’s design and placement will dictate the interior layout. From here, families can construct their interiors around these physical reminders of the homes they are leaving behind.
