Architect Kate Orff sees the oyster as an agent of urban change. Bundled into beds and sunk into city rivers, oysters slurp up pollution and make legendarily dirty waters clean thus driving even more innovation in oyster tecture. Orff shares her vision for an urban landscape that links nature and humanity for mutual benefit.

So we were inspired by the oyster, but I was also inspired by the life cycle of the oyster.

It can move from a fertilized egg to a spat, which is when they're floating through the water, and when they're ready to attach onto another oyster, to an adult male oyster or female oyster, in a number of weeks.

So the oyster was the basis for a manifesto like urban design project that I did about the New York Harbor called oyster tecture.

Here we are, back to our hero, the oyster.

Basically, New York was built on the backs of oystermen, and our streets were literally built over oyster shells.

Getting over our fear of riding bikes. Making our beds.

So we were up on top of our bunk beds.

What if we could reduce the need for hospital beds?

This image is an image of an oyster cart, which is now as ubiquitous as the hotdog cart is today.

But we imagine, with our calculations, that by 2050, you might be able to sink your teeth into a Gowanus oyster.

So now I want to introduce you to my new hero in the global climate change war, and that is the eastern oyster.

In 2001, in hospitals, there were 5,1 beds to one doctor, and 1,7 beds to one health care technician, which is a decrease in comparison to previous years, but still presents a high standard.

We came back to our pile, it was covered with hundreds of pounds of oyster mushrooms, and the color changed to a light form.

We also learned at this time that you could eat an oyster about the size of a dinner plate in the Gowanus Canal itself.

Oyster reefs also covered about a quarter of our harbor and were capable of filtering water in the harbor in a matter of days.

In 2001, 26 million was allocated to create 300 new beds in emergency shelters for women and refurbish another 136, with a corresponding increase in program funding to provide counselling and other supports for these beds.
