This studio looks critically to explore the role of landscape architecture in defining public spaces for the future. Using Boston’s Dry Dock 4, students are challenged to investigate opportunities to creatively address issues of climate change adaptation and resilience in an urban waterfront.
Using available cartographic information, photography, and graphic design tools, these early site analysis illustrations contrast both the opportunity to introduce public green space in Boston’s rapidly developing Seaport District with the vulnerability of this urban edge to future sea level rise and increased flooding events.
