Hurricane
Sandy and other recurring storms have
been activating debates on ecology, discussing the role
of artificial interventions in the cities of the north
east, bringing issues that can be associated with New
Orleans and the devastating force of Hurricane Katrina,
studied in this computer seminar back in 2006.
As a real-time based workshop, students were asked to
study social, economical, biological and ecological
landscape-urbanism alternative strategies for the
systems of bays, rivers, shores and ports that surround
New York City, including its Upper and Lower Bay, the
East River and the Hudson River, Jamaica Bay and
Flushing Bay through computer assisted simulations.
Mega-structural territorial scale visions for radical
interventions that affect the entire territory of the
area that surrounds New York City will be studied by
structuring natural feedback exchanging information and
energy. This advanced course worked out relationships
between the architecture of the city and the structuring
of the fluid surrounding territory, studying form within
time, fluid forces and resistances through specific
dynamic software tools. Mapping, testing and working
processes of sedimentation, erosion, and tidal or
hydraulic energy, were studied to extend the
architecture of New York City based on time, space and
artificial ecology. Strategies with algorithms relied on
both analog and digital interfaces. The proposal for a
landscape-urbanism strategy scenario is presented with
animated simulations and physical 3d printed test
models.coursely
