Philadelphia


The 2015 Better Philadelphia Challenge

RE-IMAGINING PETTY ISLAND

11



Competition Brief Petty Island, the site of multiple development proposals over the centuries, languishes today as a nearly-forgotten storage site for petroleum tanks and cargo containers. The island is currently owned by CITGO, the Venezuelan state-owned oil company. In 2002 the company began the process of donating the island back to New Jersey, though the state’s Department of Environmental Protection has to certify that CITGO’s clean-up of the island meets state standards before the title can be officially transferred. Students were asked how might Petty Island and the land adjacent to it on the Philadelphia side of the Delaware River be developed as a visionary 21st Century complex that creatively addresses today’s and tomorrow’s cultural, environmental, and economic needs?

• LAND USE What types of activities and uses should new infrastructure support on the site? What recreational options, housing, or business opportunities would make the best use of this land? • CLIMATE CHANGE With rising sea levels and increasingly chaotic weather, what kinds of investment and infrastructure are warranted for developing this island (and nearby shoreline) in the tidal Delaware River? Where should key infrastructure be located on the site to keep it safe? • ACCESS What types of transportation options should be offered for people to access the island from Philadelphia? • ENVIRONMENTAL SENSITIVITY How would proposals impact the natural environment of the island and can they actually improve these conditions over the long-term? 13


Did you know this competition was named after our Edmund? He was an Architect and the city planner of Philadelphia!

Yes haha! I was just coming to tell you guys that... He was a visionary and redeveloped most of the city during the post industrial era, but unlike the NYC approach he chose to adapt old buildings rather than knock them down and start from scratch.

He used to get the citizens involved with his projects too, he opened exhibitions with interactive models showing the before and after displaying how the city was going to change so that the people in the city were in the know how of it all.


Edmund bacon Bacon was the United States’ most famous and important urban planners. He was the Executive Director of Philadelphia’s City Planning Commission from 1949-1970. In the mid-20th Century – a time of great upheaval in America’s cities. His solutions combined not only smart planning and design, but community engagement with a flourish of showmanship. Perhaps most importantly, it was Bacon’s shrewd understanding of the political machine, and how to operate it, that allowed him to make his visions, at least in part, a reality. Some of his major projects include Penn Center, Society Hill, and the Vine Street Express-way. Few could claim that Bacon was not effective in shaping the Philadelphia we know today. He developed the concept of adaption with minimal destruction. In memory of his bold vision, his strong conviction, and his ability to communicate effectively with political powers, business interests, and the public, the competition was named in honour of him. 15


Hey was just digging about in the history and...Penns -ylvania.. Penn’s .. ITS A GUY!! hah he was British! William Penn to be exact, anyway he set up Philly too, he did try a few utopian planning experiments with it!

When was this ?

1700’s , hah so ages ago... But he had this idea when he built up the city. He wanted to keep one acre of green space for every five acres of developed space. Psychologically he thought that having open plan space within the city would be beneficial.

Ah that’s cool! I read around too, he had some good visions , and fun fact - Philadelphia is Greek for “brotherly love”.

haha well It seems they have moved away from both those things now ..


PENN’S PHILADELPHIA William Penn (1644 - 1718) was an English real estate entrepreneur, philosopher, and founder of the Province of Pennsylvania, the English North American colony and the future Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. He was an early advocate of democracy and religious freedom. In 1682, Penn founded the city to serve as capital of the Pennsylvania Colony. Under his direction, the city of Philadelphia was planned and developed. Penn named the city Philadelphia, which is Greek for brotherly love. Penn’s conceptions of Philadelphia may be characterised as one of the earliest attempts at utopian city planning, and they certainly represented the most extensively ‘pre-planned’ American city at that time. He was interested in parks and gardens in part because he realised some of the dangers inherent in the 17th Century city. He had lived through London’s bubonic plague of 1665 and great fire of 1666. He developed the concept of one acre of green space for every 5 acres of developed space and envisioned: “ A greene towne which will never be burnt, and always be wholesome.”

Apparently Petty was commissioned as a golfing course/ elite housing complex in 2007, but people protested and with the recession the idea eventually got scrapped ...

Interesting history of the island before the storage tanks

The current petroleum company that owns the Island have promised to clean up the island before handover in 2020, and are paying $3,000,000 towards new environmental developments on it, maybe we can use that money...

Yes, and even though it is currently private land, there seems to be a few ‘illegal’ site visits and hikes organised, people are eager to make it a public wildlife preservation site.


Petty - past & Present In 1850, Ralston Laird immigrated from Donegal to Philadelphia. Shortly after his arrival, he set off for Petty’s Island, where he and declared himself King. The generous king helped several struggling immigrant families to also establish themselves on the island. Over fifty years later, the island was selected for industrial development. In the 2000s, local politics turned to Petty Island as a centrepiece for waterfront redevelopment, with residents and politicians hoping to install restaurants and a golf course on the island. Environmental groups have opposed these measures because of a pair of bald eagles living on the island. Today, the island is a fuel storage facility owned by the Venezuelan oil company, however it was announced in 2009 that the Island will be donated to New Jersey for environmental development. Members of South Jersey environmental, historical, and civic organizations have organized several “unauthorised� site visits. They hike across the island where white-tailed deer bound into and out of their view; foxes and groundhogs also call the island home along with egrets and herons. 19


The page states the mayors sustainable goals including the aim to make Philadelphia the greenest city! (er...YES!) Another link is regarding the food shortage consequently resulting in the local government setting a locally sourced food goal!

Loved this - especially the pages on targets and community engagement!

Yeah! Lets think how we can maybe add to this, bring it into our project ? Maybe push the boundaries, let Petty set a precedent somehow?


The green works plan In Michael Nutter’s (Mayor of Philadelphia) January 2008 inaugural address, he pledged to make Philadelphia the number one green city in America. The Mayor’s Office of Sustainability was established and they spent a year researching municipal sustainability, talking with residents, and drafting Green-works Philadelphia. The plan sets 15 sustainability targets in the areas of energy, environment, equity, economy, and engagement to make Philadelphia the greenest city in America by 2015. Taking this into consideration, Petty Island could act as an extension to the Mayors current green works plan. Helping the region grow their energy portfolio in a positive manner. By addressing the current problems in the city and accommodating for repair and future growth for the city and its citizens, Petty could become an experimental living community. There is the potential for a utopian experiment.

Design phase one

Key ideas/words: “Utopian Experiment”, “Testing ground” “lead the world” “Unreleased Potential” follows the idea of creating some kind of “ideal self sufficient eco-city” ? I agree that this could be a “test” for the self sufficient eco-city, if successful it could be spread out across the world. This is a powerful message that I think we need to get across. There are a few quotes in this video that come across very strongly to me, “Workshop of the world” and “The testing ground for everything important that goes on in this nation”.

I agree, few articles on this! Great starting point for the use of Petty Island!


Current site use

Disused petroleum tanks. Cargo Shipping containers store.

Industrial area.

Access from New Jersey.

Wildlife - rare bald eagles and white tale deers.

Dock, receiving goods from Philadelphia. Marshlands.

It seems that like most of America everyone is huge in Philly and they have highest rate of health problems. Also poverty and unemployment rates are at an all time high of 8%!!!

There is a huge problem with homelessness in the city, that’s probably a problem due to lack of employment, but I read an article where food sourcing within the city was problematic - especially locally grown produce. Homelessness is more likely due to the ridiculous prices of rent they have to pay as well. Philadelphia had a massive industrial past, it was one of the leading, if not the leading industrial city in the States, obviously its declined now. They are keen on growing their green portfolio, like we read back in the greenworks plan ,but they don’t have any open recreation spaces or places to grow food in etc.. but are looking to integrate it in the future...err Petty much?

haha yeh ! They have a severely depleted educational system too...


Philadelphia’s problems

27


We know from what we have we want to create the ideal living situation - an experimental living community. Yes but the site needs to remain as open to the public as possible. Its something they want, and I think its would be great for the island. So we bring in the green-works plan, we try and target for better living and encourage out door healthier living .

Yes but they have a badly effected economy too, so we need to provide for jobs, Somewhere they can work and maybe live because of the housing shortages Education too.. SO MANY PROBLEMS AHH! We can make them live amongst nature... learn about nature and grow their own stuff and trade knowledge etc... but we need to create some kind of “economy� a biofuel maybe? since we are going green with this idea - something they can trade.. I like where this is going... a self suffcient` island ..?

I think I may have found a crop ! Here is the link to the article regarding the crop that can grow in water: http://www.cabi.org/isc/FullTextPDF/2010/20103065885.pdf

Wow! Also found that Water hyacinth helps to clean waters too! - Much needed in the Delaware river, speed of growth is fast - great for using as bio-fuel !?!? Check this link :

This is all great and very possible! I have found a great article on this: http://www.poyry.com/green-energy-water-hyacinths


Water hyacinth Water Hyacinth is an Aquatic bio - fuel, it thrives in fresh water and grows with the aid of solar energy. Its bio - fuel potentials have only recently been discovered and is comparable to the likes of algae. Along side its green energy potential, it also has numerous environmental benefits, which would greatly aid the healing of both the contaminated Delaware river and Petty Island from its petroleum past. • Fast Growth Rate • Little care and up keep needed • Huge Bio - fuel potential • Clears up contaminated waters • Enhances living environments for fish • Multiple use and reuse options • Edible 31


We should reuse as much of the existing material and resources from the island as we can, that would be more economical, there’s a pile of shipping containers just sat there.

Couldn’t agree more! I also like the look of those big round white tanks they have on-site. I don’t know if we could re -use them too... But they look unique. I liked them a lot too, they stand out, could easily turn them into living quarters or maybe that’s the area of the land they go to work so we keep them as industrial elements. Whatever we do we keep them, they act as a landmark for the island.

Personally I think the shipping containers are more suited for living accommodation, they have a modular feel. But I agree with the tanks being part of the Islands “work” zone or industrial zone. By zoning the island we get a lot more use out of it, we can create a process of how the occupants would go about their lives, living and working on the Island.


Initial ideas

33


Exactly that way we would be hitting a target of needs currently lacking in Philly.

So we need affordable accommodation, so somewhere for them to live... And somewhere for them to earn a living... So work/ industrial zones. They should be educated on their current environment, possibly taught how to grow their own foods, you can create offshore farming beds using water Hyacinth. What about designing an education centre in the middle of the housing village, It could be a school during the day and a teaching centre in the evenings.

Yes that works, keeps with our teach, learn, trade, live motto. There is room for a market, so they can sell their produce to visiting people from either cities!

Education Centre, Teaching citizens about farming and wildlife cultivation.

Off shore farming beds, for foods, leasable per plot.

Industrial off shore Farming units for creating bio - fuels.

Industrial processing of bio - fuels.

Wildlife cultivation zones.

35


There is a strong city grid apparent in both cities, we should bring that into a point on our island, to emphasise on the fact that two cities are merging together in the forming of this island.

That only runs across the top end of our site though, so keep that for the accommodation sections... Creates neat little plots. Yeah and its in-between the woodlands, which would be scenic and means the citizens would be immersed within their learning environment all the time, it becomes a way of life. Don’t forget the offshore planting beds! We could lease them out to other people from the cities if they wanted. What are we farming, just plants and that crop I found ? Could do fish farming.

This industrial work area, could that not be kept as open and green as possible, I can imagine people working in these tanks while others are bird watching or cycling.

umm, I see I see, what if we don’t allow cars? Just keep it low impact - bikes , walking, hiking, encourage the outdoors?

Surely you would need heavily machinery to work on the industrial site, like collect the crops and fermenting it..How would all that work? Cant just eliminate cars..

Both valid points... But we are going down the eco-village, setting a precedent theme. Maybe restrict use of cars etc - rather than eradicate them.

Keep it as green as possible then.


Sketch visual - parks

39


So how are we doing this farming then ? I’m trying to think of a perspective...

I don’t think it will come across in a perspective, maybe do a sectional perspective? Showing the different types of farming options and plots we’ve got going on.

Yes, I agree with Asma, do it so it cuts through a food/ vegetable planting plot, the Water Hyacinth and a fish farming plot.

Gottcha! How big were the plots again, so I can get an idea of a rough scale...

Each plot should be able to sustain a family of 4 for a year so 20x20m. Doesn’t have to be that accurate as long as the concept comes across.


Sketch visual - farming

41


Have we allocated and area and resolved the affordable housing schemes?

Me and Freddie are working on it today - keeping with the Cargo Containers idea though..

Think we can get some interesting formations from playing around with the modules and we can create dynamic street fronts.

Looking into having a plot per house where they can plant and grow their own produce so they eat fresh.

Yeah but its looking like we may have to move them offshore to make room for more housing...


Village Proposal By using the existing shipping containers on-site, and combining them in a variety of formations, they would become ideal living situations for the housing plots. They fit in well with the gridded master-plan of both New Jersey and Philadelphia, not only that but they are resourceful.

43


Housing plots all resolved, we can easily fit over a 100 different plots onto the island

We managed to create several different formations, to accommodate for different scenario’s and needs, so bungalows, accommodation flats for visitors, they could become hotels and family units.

Each has its own greens-cape around its as well.

Aye, and we calculated they can each get their own 20x20 farming plot for either fish farming, growing their own produce etc..

OK, good work guys. Ready to smash this crit tomorrow!

The crit - the catalyst Well.... We didn’t smash that crit...Master planning the Island was not the apparent solution for this brief, there was too much going on, too many Ideas that we could not represent.

We need to refine our purpose, we need that BIG idea.... We should not scrap all the work we have done, there are some good things in there, we don’t have time to start again, we just need to pick one, and run with it! I like the crop, its different. Maybe it shouldn’t be a place where people need to live in...They can visit though. We should build on the perks of the Island, make it a park? I think use the tanks maybe, create secret gardens or something that people can use and create an attraction around them, that will bring people to the island. What if its both, a place people can come to unwind but we still integrate the crop into it, it should still remain a self sustained island, and should still set a precedent of some sort.... We just need to not focus on ALL of Philly’s problems. Create a catalyst instead....

47



Design phase two

49


Ok, lets keep it simple. A lot of the problems within Philly eventually whittle down to a poor educational system... So lets educate them, and provide for jobs, turn this island into a generator of income for the locals, somewhere they can work and learn and play?

Keeping in-line with what we already know of course... So using this crop as the starting point, teach people about harvesting and developing it as a bio - fuel, use the citizens. So we tackle preservation too, keep the site open to the public, but create a new field of opportunities THROUGH the use of the crop . Is that what you are saying ? YES!!! The island could be split.. Have a place where they research, implement, and it would essentially still be park that people can roam. Education, preservation and recreation!


Final design solutions

51


How far can we utilise this crop to our potential ?

I have been doing some research, and its still being researched, and is pretty new, but its being compared to the likes of algae, it has an expectationally fast growth rate , it doubles in area every 7 days. Its perfect to be used as a bio-fuel! What’s the upkeep like ? Can we bring people onto the island to harvest them ? would it grow in our site etc.?

Yes definitely! They don’t need much care and grow on their own, they actually help to clean up the waters, and yes it grows in fresh water..Which is ideal as that’s what the Delaware river is. I think there is a potential to get people to research and develop the crop further, not just harvest it - back to the experimental town idea? Its all linking in again.

53


This crop then, if its going to be researched we should create a hub . Like a central point where scientist are employed to develop the crop

I reckon don’t limit it, make it a research centre for all bio - fuels? The crop is just the catalyst ..where they begin for now? But there is the potential for growth. Yeah ok I see your point. So what are we going to house, just labs? How should it look.. Would be ideal if school trips could be arranged to the site, so we educate the children from a young age.

Circular for unity, as it will sit between New jersey and Philly I don’t think this island should just be for Philadelphia, should be a connection point between the two. Should benefit both ends, and somehow resemble the merging of the communities over a future goal...It would kind of relate to the tanks too.. Oh I was watching Grand Designs yesterday and there was this house built on a site that was prone to flooding, so the architect designed a house which would float. Its pretty neat - you should watch it! Lets implement that!

55


I was thinking of the existing tanks on site, I know we wanted to keep them for the Secret gardens... But what if we use some for the fermentation process of the bio - fuel? I think we have to!

So are we planting in the tanks as well then ? how would the sun get in...Lets think Yes definitely! Its a great idea no matter how unrealistic it seems, would be a good way to capture the essence of the site when its flooded, we can perforate the tanks...

Aye! We can also have elevated walkways , so people can walk around the site and see what’s going on whether in the gardens or looking at the experiments, like a continual learning experience. Perfect!! The walkways can go through the entire site I guess, and frame key views from the island, like across to Philly skyline and so on.


Elevated walkways

Branching out of elevated walkways through the site giving new perspectives

57


So essentially the tanks have two purposes, one will be re-growing Petty for the wildlife and the other will be the fermentation process.

I think the key aspect with this site is transparency. The public have been barred from the site for so long, they should be able to get to all parts and not be restricted from any of it. Yes so then I’m thinking the walkways go through the tanks too! Not just around the site. They should provide access on several levels, so the public can get a feel for the space and really feel involved.

Do you reckon we do the same thing to the thanks, like we did with our education centre, so that it floats when the island eventually floods. Would be a shame if this was only a temporary ‘park’. Should be long lasting I think. DO IT!!

I cant get this idea out of my head, I’m sorry I keep going on about that crop! But hear me out... You know how the site will eventually flood, well our crop is water based, so surely we can replant the disappearing site with the crop, but replant it in such away that we keep its existing form? That way Petty island is always on the map!!

Yes ok I agree! But you are drawing that haha

Yes definitely that makes perfect sense! Think of how much extra crop we can harvest and how much more energy we can generate from the bio-fuel ! The technology would have advance by then anyway.

It would 100% be a self sustained island in that case then!! Forget self sustained haha - we could generate enough to sell back to the Pennsylvania grid! All about the Economy.

Penn’s Philadelphia began with the purest of visions, one acre of green space for every five acres of developed space, in time this image slowly faded as Philadelphia developed to become one of the world’s leading industrial cities. Philadelphians want to live in a green and healthy city where career opportunities are rife and enduring. Petty Island - The Hub for a Bio-fuel Future will act as an extension to the Mayer’s current “Green Works Plan”. The island will grow to become a self-sustained and renewable energy engineering site, encompassing within it the potential for Research, Education and Preservation. The Storage tanks act as the hallmark for Petty Island , Bacon set a revolutionary bench mark with the concept of adaption with minimal destruction, this notion is vital in the regeneration of Petty Island while echoing the core principle of A bio-fuel Future - revaluate, reuse and re-life . Petty Island unleashes its unrealised potential setting the ideal framework for a bio-chemical Utopian experiment, empowering Philadelphia to become the pioneer to its brother states. For the first time Petty will enable the public to meander through the full 292 acres; experiencing the site on a multitude of levels, engaging with the indigenous wildlife, taking in the majesty of the prevailing environment all while witnessing the growth of the newly cultivated parks and teachings of the live research experiments. Petty Island is the seed that stitches together Philadelphia with New Jersey. It is the Central Park of the Bio-Fuel-Age.
