EAST NEW YORK, BROOKLYN, NEW YORK VISITING EAST NEW YORK FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE PROBLEMS IN THE SITE ARE VERY APPARENT. AESTHETICALLY THE BUILDINGS, SIDEWALKS, AND GREENERY ARE UNKEMPT. EAST NEW YORK, ALONG WITH MOST OF NEW YORK, IS LACKING IN GREEN SPACES. THIS ALLOWS THE OPPURTUNITY TO INSTALL THE OPERATING LANDSCAPES.

THROUGH ANALYSIS, THERE ARE MANY SITES WITHIN THE EAST NEW YORK TO INCORPORATE THE WORKING LANDSCAPES LIKE EMPTY LOTS, OLD HOMES, AND SPACIOUS ROOFTOPS. THESE PARTICULAR SITES WERE CHOSEN TO HOST THE NEWLY WETLAND SYSTEMS.

SYSTEMS BIOSWALES

MINIATURE WATER BASED LANDSCAPES THAT COLLECTS EXCESS RAIN WATER AND REDUCES RAIN WATER FROM OVERFILLING STORMWATER DRAINS.

RAIN GARDENS

WATER IS COLLECTED ON ROOF TOPS THAT IS THEN DIRECTED DOWN WATER PIPE TOWARDS A NEARBY GARDEN. THE WATER THEN CULTIVATES THE GROWING WATER PLANTS IN THE GARDEN CREATING AN AESTHETICALLY PLEASING SPACE.

MARSH FILTRATION SYSTEM

FIRST, WATER IS COLLECTED ON THE ROOF, GOES DOWN TO A COLLECTING TANK, DISTRIBUTED TO TOILETS & SINKS WHICH THEN BECOME BLACK WATER. THE BLACK WATER GOES INTO A SEPTIC TANK THAT IS PIPED BACK TO THE MARSH. THE BLACK WATER FLOWS THROUGH THE MARSH WHERE IT NATURALLY FILTERS THE WATER AND THE WATER IS THEN PRODUCED AS GREY WATER. THE GREY WATER IS THEN DISTRIBUTED BACK INTO THE HOUSE.

PLANT SELECTION

THERE ARE DIFFERENT VARIATION OF PLANTS USED IN THE SYSTEMS. PARTICULAR PLANTS ACCOMODATE DRY AND WET LANDS. SOME HAVE FUNCTIONS WHILE OTHERS ARE THERE FOR AESTHETICS.

MARSH East New York is a growing neighborhood with opportunity to make change. The changes necessary in New York City are directly tied into its ecology, infrastructure and the development of those two elements cohesively. To bond the two parts, a new “ecological corridor” will be introduced to revive the biological system of Brooklyn. Along with this new “infrastructure” of ecology, a series of small ‘Productive Landscapes’ that will
