Description
The Jersey Shore was devastated by Hurricane Sandy, and remains under threat from storms, erosion, and rising sea levels. Despite the overwhelming odds, people repair and rebuild their homes on this precarious land using a rudimentary elevation system. Houseraising is a typology of these strange structures, and a harbinger of our increasingly urgent battle with the forces of nature we have unwittingly unleashed.

Reviews / Votes
'Wagner's images and these essayists' words raise questions bigger than the entire Shore itself, questions of human nature, the environment, and the limits of our civic imagination.",- ?The Philadelphia Inquirer?, July 22, 2018
