design by apocalypse ---

after spending what feels like forever in a vacuum.... i saw the blog. tear
silly video
http://io9.com/5773826/the-apocalyptic-future-of-portland-oregon-comes-to-life-in-this-burning-hot-teaser-trailer

so i have to write a THESIS this year. my topic is post-disaster REgenerative design: rebuilding after war, terror, mother earth rebelling etc.

i could have easily picked new orleans...

but i am currently researching what would happen if Portland had a major earthquake (predicted to happen now, or now, or now)

all bridges collapsed
2000 buildings downtown in rubble
hundreds sunk into the land from liquefaction
river contaminated with broken oil/gas lines
land slides
river infilled

to use a precedent of how things could go better after they go so wrong
suggestions?
more to come... Continue
