Summary note
This project is the initiative of a group of engineers, architects, planners, professors, and students to imagine a "soft infrastructure" for the New York-New Jersey Upper Bay by developing the interconnected infrastructures and landscapes which rethink the thresholds of water, land, and city. Three objectives summarize the strategies developed: Construction of an archipelago of islands and reefs along the shallow shoals of the New York-New Jersey Upper Bay to dampen powerful storm currents as well as encourage the development of new estuarial habitats; revitalization of the waterfront by designing a broad, porous, "fingered" coastline which combines tidal marshes, parks, and piers for recreation and community development; and enacting zoning formulae that adapt efficiently in response to the impact of storms in order to increase community resilience to future natural disasters. These three principles--on the water, along the coast, and in the communities--comprise a proposal for a coastal planning strategy which seeks not only to protect the New York-New Jersey region from sea level rise and storm surge flooding, but also to re-conceptualize the relationship between infrastructure and ecology in the twenty-first century waterfront city. http://www.nordenson.com/project.php?l=name&offset=795&id=116.
