URBAN STRATEGY + ECOLOGY

Tidal inlets as ecological imperative for the Bay and a strategy of subtraction for a new urbanism in the peninsula

01| URBAN STRATEGY breakwaters and tidal inlets

URBAN STRATEGY + ECOLOGY

What if breakwater was building: Robust south perimeter facing the ocean.

URBAN STRATEGY + ECOLOGY

Tidal inlets, tidal channels, tidal pools, lagoons, marsh beachscape

URBAN STRATEGY + INFRASTRUCTURE Belle Harbor suburban neighborhood, streets running perpendicular to the Peninsula

URBAN STRATEGY + INFRASTRUCTURE Reclaiming the streets: cut and fill

ARCHITECTURE to CITY City-in-miniature

ARCHITECTURE to CITY

“it’s ‘knot’ a mat because these subtracted nodes monumentalize the space and mats by definition are field conditions with no center. And open spaces in mat buildings don’t happen at the intersections”
