Architect Kunlé Adeyemi of NLÉ Works sets out to solve the issues of flooding and overcrowding in Nigeria's waterside slums. The video Rebel Architecture: Working on Water introduces his pioneering work in Nigeria with floating structures to address issues of flooding and land occupation. The documentary examines the situation of residents in the Makoko slum in the capital Lagos, and a floating radio station for a community NGO in the Chicoco slum in Port Harcourt.

The project to construct a floating radio station for a community NGO in Port Harcourt won a Holcim Awards Acknowledgement prize in 2014. Chicoco Radio: Community building designed for urban flooding aims to strengthen community engagement in decision making that would improve living conditions in the informal area rather than displace the current residents. Construction of the Chicoco Radio floating media platform is expected to begin soon.

NLÉ Works envisages a city of floating buildings that, safe from rising tides, would allow the residents of the neighborhood to remain within their community, while at the same time improving the quality of their lives. The studio came up with an easy-to-build, low-cost sustainable prototype for a floating building, one of which has already been constructed to support an overcrowded local school in Makoko.
