The project introduces an integrated ecological infrastructure composed of fire breaks, a rammed-earth fire dike, and a pair of Direct Air Capture (DAC) towers in the wildfire-prone Angeles National Forest, California. Beyond fire containment, the towers serve as multifunctional climate infrastructures: they capture atmospheric CO鈧, harvest fog and rainwater, generate solar energy, and inject CO鈧-water mixtures into subsurface storage. Public engagement is central鈥攙isitors can access elevated watchtowers and educational platforms, while ecological corridors ensure safe animal migration. These hybrid systems combine fire resilience, carbon mitigation, water management, and community participation into one replicable typology.

The design originates from an exploration of 鈥楥limate Uncertainties,鈥 with a focus on addressing climate challenges and envisioning a decarbonized and decolonized future from diverse perspectives. It delves into specific cases, people, and circumstances, employing microhistory to intensively study direct air capture technology in Iceland and wildfire events in Indonesia. This approach creates a powerful focal point by collecting and analyzing various historical strands, thus lending significant force to the study. The microhistory element uncovers potential synergies between wildfire management and carbon emissions, inspiring a new project typology to address climate uncertainties effectively.

The project situates itself in California as a representative example, with the potential to scale the data and conclusions globally. It transcends being merely a defensive strategy against wildfires, evolving into a proactive measure aimed at achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 in LA County. Ultimately, this project stands as a testament to the power of interdisciplinary collaboration, illustrating how adaptive infrastructure can respond to risk through multifunctionality and resilience, aligned with the broader goals of The 2030 Project to bridge academia and real-world impact.
