Amplification

As global temperatures rise, many waterfront areas, like the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal, are at risk of being submerged by seawater. However, this process is slow and often imperceptible on a daily basis, leading people to overlook a problem that is actually quite severe. There is a huge gap between public awareness and the cruel reality. Therefore, our goal is to draw people to the waterfront to experience this process, which will be amplified through our design. We’ve chosen to focus this building on water recreation, particularly kayaking, as our research indicates it’s the most popular water sport in NYC. Regarding the space design, we created a new linear pier pointing directly to the Statue of Liberty, creating an enclosed triangular water area with the existing pier. We placed all auxiliary spaces on the second floor, allowing for a continuous, linear water recreation area on the first floor where both people and water can come inside and have many different kinds of interactions at different times.
