The United States flourished vigorously and prosperously in the 1920s due to industry. At the time, New York became the American ideal for many individuals. Several significant portions of the city were transformed into industrial zones. Areas that used to have an industrial function are mostly now vacant land - and waiting to be used. Blank land areas significantly impact the surrounding urban area when there is no interest - FLOOD is one of them or becomes an unsafe area. Negative impacts now appear on the leftover areas. Flood is one of them, or the land becomes a hazardous area.
Reuse the leftover Industrial Lands.
We came to this Question: How to use it? We propose a postindustrial network for New York, transforming these regions into public open spaces. We want to bring LIFE back to the abandoned places.
Circulation Map
The red lines depict the vehicle's course. They can get to the site in two ways. There is also parking along the route and on-site. The yellow line describes pedestrian routes that attempt to connect the current retail with the new shophouse and traverse the property. The colored dots represent the entrances to each structure.
Our strategy is to create additional 'gaps' for water, split some, and fill the exposed edges by proposing a system of artificial natural 'corridors' that allow the water to blend in. The specific plan consists of a series of these new mound artificial islands located around the park. Each island is covered by various trees, immobilizing the ground and reducing damage caused by direct waves.
Ferry Line – Surreal Ring Line
This research aims to create a new perspective shoreline model for flood and sea-level rise forecasts. The UPPER Bay connects all the islands to the center, making it easier for everyone to get from one island to the next. Staten Island is a location with a distinct geographic character, with no outside to cover and a shoreline separating nature, human attractions, and other island links.
Landscape :
Our strategy is to create more water "gaps." We are dividing and filling the exposed edge and creating an artificial natural 'corridor' system that will allow the water to blend in. The map shows almost all of the coastline, which is the flood zone of New York City, was affected by the sea rise level heavily. With predicted sea-level rise, our strategy attached to this issue is also our main idea. Those red zones are the areas we propose for each island to solve the same flood issue. We offer the exact solution for each zone with our landscape strategy that we will mention below. Furthermore, this project seeks to protect the site by harmonizing land and water and interest locals and visitors to bring more energy to the seaside. This concept attempts to identify and educate by 'gathering and taking natural benefits' along the beach. We plan to use the sea characters and mix them with various activities so that everyone may go there to enjoy, watch, and interact.
