This is called oyster.

The squabble is on... the stuffing gets knocked out.

With a lot of fresh raw oyster.

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

Ah yes, oyster. I usually don't eat this.

There's even pine mushroom and oyster chopped noodles!

People dry out or air out their mattress stuffing on their roofs.

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

'You're enough to try the patience of an oyster!'

Everyone is dying to lose weight, but, here you are stuffing your face?!

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

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.

And also showing oyster gardening for the community along its edges.

The crud in the front is mattress stuffing, and you see that all over Turkey.

Already, commercial oyster larvae are dying at large scales in some places.

Over here! Two seafood noodles with a lot of fresh raw oyster.

Then I'll have the oyster noodles. I want the Bul Nak porridge.

Alright, then one order of oyster noodles, and three Bul Nak porridges?

And one oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water a day.

And this glorious, readily available device is basically a floating raft with an oyster nursery below.

Here's the Gowanus future with the oyster rafts on the shorelines the flupsification of the Gowanus.

Literally hundreds of elevator rides were spent with me alone stuffing the pump into my Spanx, hoping the doors wouldn't open unexpectedly.

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

Gyoza stuffing? I made some gyoza at home but, possibly because I didn't have enough dough, I had some of the filling left over.

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.

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.

The world is their oyster, and whether or not they realize, it's their privilege to capitalize on this prize, it's limited just to guys.

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

And finally, how much fun it would be to watch the flupsy parade and cheer on the oyster spats as they go down to the reef.

If you like being received like a dog in a bowling alley risking your life with every oyster you eat having a heart attack when you see the bill go straight to the Délices de I'Océan.

And so we push them a bit on day three and they actually went out and started looking at the left hand side of the canvas because we'd beat their stuffing out of them saying yeah, yeah, yeah this might be nice but there's no way.

And the core idea of oyster tecture is to harness the biological power of mussels, eelgrass and oysters species that live in the harbor and, at the same time, harness the power of people who live in the community towards making change now.

We reinterpreted this life cycle on the scale of our sight and took the Gowanus as a giant oyster nursery where oysters would be grown up in the Gowanus, then paraded down in their spat stage and seeded out on the Bayridge Reef.

I was smoking a quiet cigarette one morning in the window looking out over Piccadilly, and watching the buses and motors going up one way and down the other most interesting it is I often do it when in rushed Bobbie, with his eyes bulging and his face the colour of an oyster, waving a piece of paper in his hand.
