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.
