Historic Roosevelt island is faced with an uncertain future. Funds have been allocated to protect the existing HHS hospital campus from the 500 year storm, but with little to no input to date from the community the emphasis was put on ideas for this phase of work. As a consultant to coastal resiliency engineers, the concepts were vetted for feasibility and protection effectiveness while we worked to maintain the focus of our intervention not as a means to an end, but as an enhancement of the space and ultimately a place for people.
