Site located along the banks of Delaware River, Philadelphia. Project’s goal is to build the understanding of establishment of a clear, robust territorial framework vision for the entirety of the project area and find out the possible solution to mitigate the sea level rise issue and trying to develop the ability to make effective contributions to urban design problems. The Park design focused on the Richmond portion of Delaware River, a vastly underutilized waterfront, along with its contiguous neighborhood, offers great potential for a new mixed-use development that will include a major residential development combining existing buildings and new construction.

Reconstructed Pier combine with the islands would not only identify the strategy for sea level rise problem but more on providing the open spaces for the adjacent neighborhood and have the creation of a riparian corridor that incorporates many of the best features
The comparison between the Existing Pier and After Proposed Pier with the islands for creating the wetlands and open spaces.
