Veiled Landscape is a proposed rehabilitation area for the once naturally occurring salt marshes of the Hudson Estuary. The project is situated on an existing abandoned train station and is located along major migratory paths for both birds and fish. As a way to reintegrate the site into its natural contexts, the naturally occurring properties of salt serve as a catalyst for connecting human activities and ecosystem restoration efforts. The project is organized along multiple datums: a large netscape draped over existing and new structures such as a raised boardwalk which provides protection of the habitat restoration along the ground. These datums act as layers of interaction and protection between the human and natural ecologies. The highest datum, a net softscape with hydrophobic and hydrophilic layers, accumulates crystalline salt formations creating a natural shading device. The use of the net The accumulation of salt is achieved through the reversal of an existing drainage system on site in a new system that pumps the brackish water with the tide from the nearby bay through the column system onto the nets above, willing the wild process of evaporation. The middle datum, which uses existing and new structure on the site, is on an elevated platform above the marshland restoration and is organized around nodes reflecting natural marsh conditions. The new structures on site are constructed of salt clay bricks which continue the language of salt but also work with the forces of the impending salty coastal winds rather than deteriorating under these conditions (a sustainable approach to addressing the effects of efflorescence). The lowest datum is a complete restoration of the natural restoration of the surrounding area. Continuing the use of the reversed drainage system, the landscape is flooded with brackish waters creating tide pools and salt secretions for the use of inhabiting animals. The willed properties of the new and existing architecture allow for the wild properties of salt, necessary for the life of humans, animals, and landscape, to perform many responsibilities throughout the site.
