Plaza by the Water

The looming threat of rising sea levels inevitably jeopardizes existing urban plazas and public spaces, which are only prepared for dry conditions. Our project aims to investigate how to adopt a proactive stance by embracing imminent wet conditions. Concurrently, recognizing public transportation as a pivotal urban infrastructure, we endeavor to enhance its capacity by incorporating additional water transportation. This multifaceted approach aligns with our commitment to fortifying urban resilience. Employing a systemic design strategy, we interconnect transportation stations, public spaces, and spring studio/ Tribeca Film Festival programs within a cohesive network. This not only bolsters adaptability but also reinforces the sustainable evolution of urban environments in the face of dynamic challenges.
