Resilient & Sustainable Eco-District in Red Hook, Brooklyn, NYC Spring 2013 Design Studio Arc 702 + 302
The students designed resilient and
sustainable “eco-districts� within a vulnerable coastal neighborhood in New York City impacted by Hurricane
Sandy. The work emerging from this and similar studios builds on projects and research by MAURD faculty focused on climate-resilient urban
design, and contributes to the critical dialogue in New York City and other cities confronting climate change.

We’ve created or preserved more than 64,000 units of affordable housing. We‘ve provided New Yorkers with more transportation choices.”
“By 2030, average temperatures could rise by as many as three degrees Fahrenheit in New York City. Hotter temperatures will increase public health risks.. As a city with 520 miles of coastline, we are also at risk of increased flooding as sea levels rise and storms become more intense. Our sea levels have already risen a foot in the last 100 years and area projected to rise by up to 10 inches more in the next two decades.”
“New York City already has one of the lowest per capita greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions levels among major global cities, one-third the U.S. average, due to our density and reliance on mass transit. In 2007 we set a goal to reduce our GHG emissions by more than 30% by 2030 compared to 2005 levels.”

RED_HOOK_SITE_ANALYSIS
Red Hook is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, U.S.A. The neighborhood is part of Brooklyn Community Board 6. It is also the location where the transatlantic liner RMS Queen Mary 2 docks in New York City. Red Hook is part of the area known as South Brooklyn. This name is derived from the original City of Brooklyn which ended at Atlantic Street, now Atlantic Avenue. In the 1950s anything south of Atlantic Avenue was considered South Brooklyn, thus the names “Red Hook” and “South Brooklyn” were applied also to today’s Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Columbia Heights and Gowanus neighborhoods. Portions of Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill were granted landmark status in the 1970s and carved out of Red Hook which is a peninsula between Buttermilk Channel, Gowanus Bay and Gowanus Canal at the southern edge of Downtown Brooklyn. Red Hook is the only part of New York City that has a full frontal view of the Statue of Liberty, which was oriented to face France, the country which donated the statue to the United States following the centennial of the United States. New York City has expanded its water ferry service, operated by New York Water Taxi. This service normally runs between IKEA and Pier 11 in Lower Manhattan, but has added a new stop at Van Brunt Street to support local businesses The free ferry runs between 10am and 9pm. Originally, when this free service was first introduced, it proved to be popular with local residents, causing changes in the operating policy to favor IKEA shoppers. Under the current schedule, the ferry runs from Monday to Friday, every 40 minutes from 2pm, $5 for one way. On Saturday and Sunday, it runs free of charge, every 20 minutes from 11am. Subway service in the area is sparse. The closest subway stops are along the IND Culver Line (F G trains), at either Carroll Street or Smith–Ninth Streets stations. Bus service is popular. The B61 bus route provides service from Hamilton Avenue, through Erie Basin/IKEA Plaza, to Van Brunt St and then northward, through the Columbia Street Waterfront District and terminates in Downtown Brooklyn. It also connects with the Culver Line’s Smith–Ninth Streets station. The B57 bus also connects Red Hook with Downtown Brooklyn and Maspeth, Queens. Red Hook is connected to Manhattan by the vehicles-only Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel, whose toll plaza and approaches separate it from Carroll Gardens to the north. In the spring of 2006, the new Carnival Cruise Lines Terminal, more formally the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal, opened at Pier 12 at Pioneer Street, bringing additional tourists. The Red Hook Container Terminal is one of four such facilities in the Port of New York and New Jersey and is the only maritime facility in Brooklyn to handle container ships. 2 source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hook,_Brooklyn

“I’m one of the owners of Home/Made in Red Hook catering....... most of Red Hookers were staying put. Most of us were all in communication. We had organized, you know, lists online, so everybody knew who was open and who was closed, who had what resources.... when the water started coming up Pioneer Street, slowly, but slow-fast, kind of. It wasn’t like a tidal wave. It was just slowly crawling at a rapid speed. And in about 15 minutes, it went from the end the Pioneer and I’m lay by the water to our front stoop and up about a foot.”
“As soon as the electricity went, you see, and it was like all man to himself, you see? It’s just like man against Mother Nature. And Mother Nature won. I would not wish a storm like this on my worst enemy.”

“I’m the youth empowerment program coordinator here at Added Value, and we operate the Red Hook Community Farm...... all the crops were covered with water from the harbor. So we won’t be able to sell any... many people argue that local farms are the solution. You know, our industrial agriculture—agricultural system is based on using fossil fuels for pesticides, and natural gas. We ship food all across the country. And it just doesn’t make sense. We need to localize production to reduce our carbon footprint.”
“We don’t have ConEd out here. We don’t have none of that services out here. They’re not even coming.”
“I am a former employee of the Red Hook Initiative... This is still part of my home, and it’s part of my community...the people in the Red Hook community are out without food, water, lights and a lot of the basic needs. And so, what the Red Hook Initiative has done, they collaborated with a group of volunteers who are going well beyond their means to donate and to give food and clothing, fresh water.”

“I learned that one of the best businesses to put into an inner city is a supermarket, because it employs locally.”

L I VA B L E POROUS BARRIER
A more localized approach could be imple-
mented faster at lower cost, focusing on critical areas first before being replicated else-
where. A localized sea wall could tie into the urban fabric more successfully and has the opportunity to benefit the community in a multitude of ways. The livable porous barrier is the perfect solu-
tion. It offers housing, jobs, retail, rec-
reation and farm land. Comprised of mod-
tiered atop one another , tied into a 75’ high 28’ deep sea wall, the porous livable barrier protects curular housing units,
rent and future generations. Its design is a leap forward in terms of increasing density and laying groundwork infrastructure for a thriving community.

In 2100 one half of Red Hook will be under water (IPCC data set). To enable the city to thrive our proposal seeks local solutions to global problems. A stilted community of piers is built in relief of otherwise flooded Red Hook buildings. Current buildings are to ne knocked down and allowed to erode naturally on behest of the ocean currents.
