WATER TREATMENT
Structural solution for the whole canal; A dry connection for the upgraded productive grounds, also in flood scenarios; System to redirected CSO’s and combine them with wetlands.

WATER SYSTEMS Buffering - Gowanus upgrade, Brooklyn , NY
Dredging system with steel sheet piling
We propose to raise the steel plates, and add a simple concrete top, which will also provide the possibility for separate cleaning, but will also ensure more possibilities for the waterfront.
One of those possibilities could be a collective space on the waterfront.

FLOOD DEFENSE Buffering - Gowanus upgrade, Brooklyn , NY
In already proposed plans, a tank/filter system is integrated to buffer the CSO’s, and systematically connect them to the canal; We also introduce this system in co-operation with a wetland.

Connecting
Collective space
Collective connection
Create dry connection to tie the productive grounds together
The waterside is a functional space for the factories, as well as a collective space.
The dry connection is a way for productive grounds to connect, and for local people to collectively use this way to experience their neighborhood.

MIXED USE
Beside the wetland, we also thought about a way to create several uses on a permeable ground. The purpose is to show that creativity in day and night use also leads to a more mixed and efficient use of grounds.

Symbiosis of zones, a combination of uses.
BUFFERING ... Upgrade the canalside to improve flood protection and raise the industrial interest; Provide a bufferzone to protect the industries and residential area from each other; Ensure collective interest by providing a connection, and also incorporating other plans.
