Design Insertions: • “Floating” agricultural areas with integrated storm water capture and filtration for irrigation, with intensive rice/fish cultivation, and productive tree plantings

Water zone – sea level and below: • On water, under water – open up for development and intensification of use Design Insertions: • Floating infrastructure wave-energy generating docks for new floating neighborhoods • Floating public space/infrastructure locations • Wave energy generation fields – offshore • Offshore aquaculture Design Details: ENTROPIC FLOATING TERRAIN GREEN SPACE FLOATING CITY INFRASTRUCTURE CONCRETE TERRAIN FILLED WITH SOIL AND PLANTED, ON [...]

Design Insertions: • Created wetlands to absorb water, filter runoff • Floating wetlands to filter WPCP outputs • Staging Area for civic response systems for storm events (Police , Fire, Coast Guard) • Wetlands Nursery • Ferry docks connecting to upland transportation networks

NPS leverages its iconographic relationship with nature to create National Parks brand development of habitats management guidelines for urban ecosystems - to be used for all scales of open space - from a balcony to a wildlife preserve. NPS influence extends throughout cities across the country. Education about natural systems occurs on-site at schools through roof gardens, [...]

Dynamic zone – 0-4.1M above 2006 sea level • Projected to flood every 43 years in 2020, 19 years in 2050, and 4 years in 2080 • The low ground/watery area, some will become permanently under water – some will be regularly inundated • New urbanisms will be created in the area of flux – change is inevitable, [...]

Intermediate zone – 4.2-15M above 2006 sea level • The middle ground, not projected to flood before 2080 • Existing density will be modified per market demands to environmentally responsive standards Design Insertions: • Evacuation Centers at schools arenas • Immigration Center to process Climatechange refugees (split between intermediate ground at JFK and floating water-access in the bay)

Role of the National Park Service: Resources are unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations, unless massive change occurs.  Conservation is an adaptation process: with fluctuating boundaries and resources, NPS becomes a manager of a territory much greater than Gateway National Recreation Area.

Lampost-sized LED columns receive and and visualize real-time information from a network of landscape sensors.  Ocean data displays from the bottom, atmospheric conditions from the top.  Pollution concentrations and types, and approaching storms and floods constantly change the LED pattern.  The middle zone shows how the local decentralized infrastructure is functioning.  These lights also function [...]

Operations: • Capturing the force of storm surges as energy to power the city during recovery • Providing water for desalination plants Ocean Wave Power: In general, wave energy is concentrated solar energy, which has an energy density of 100 watts per square meter.  wave energy is concentrated to 70 kilowatts per wave crest, the most energy dense form [...]

Jamaica Bay is a climate change-related buffer zone for Brooklyn and Queens. Opportunities generated by climate change effects are used to create better ecological functioning of the city Issues arising from climate change that we are addressing: 1. Water – a force that creates pressure on existing habitat – sea level rise, storm surges, flooding and drought • [...]
