A collaboration with Landscape Architecture student Jing Wang, the Migrant Workers' Desert Sanctuary is a Live-Work complex situated in Mesquite, NM on the Rio Grande River. The project addresses issues of (im)migration and native agricultural techniques as a means of forming a self-sustaining community. The major program of the site include an agricultural center utilizing ancient native waffle-farming techniques in conjunction with modern-day irrigation and a public cultural museum set in a man-made flood zone that also serves as a sanctuary for migratory birds. Deployed across the site are red water collectors that double as shading devices and provide a method of demarcation within the site.
