FINAL PRESENTATION – RED HOOK FLOODS
The title of this project is a recognition of fact; Red Hook floods, it always has and it always will. Red Hook was once a salt-water marshland scattered with islands of more stable ground. Now Red Hook is filled with engineered land, but the water still finds its level and so Red Hook floods. Red Hook Floods can also be read as an adjective modifying a noun. As in “Hurricane Sandy was a Red Hook Flood.” Red Hook has been scarred by epic floods. Hurricane Sandy was particularly destructive; combining sea level rise, with a high tide, and a massive storm surge. Sandy became the quintessential Red Hook Flood.. until the next one comes along. My project begins with these twin realities, Red Hook Floods and there are Floods in Red Hook that are so profound they lend the neighborhood’s name to the event. Floods however, are episodic. There are days, weeks, months, and years between floods. And while precipitation and sea level rise are both increasing, one must also design for the days with other temporal conditions. And so my project exists before, during and after the flood as well as the everyday. PLAN
