Retrofitting Buildings for Flood Risk This is a single family, detached two-story, dwelling on a dirt crawlspace in Gerritsen Beach neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY to be elevated above the Food Resistant Construction Elevation (FRCE) as part of Post-Sandy housing recovery eorts in New York City and State under the Mayor's OďŹƒce of Housing Recovery Operations (HRO) and New York City Economic Development Corporation (EDC) for the BuildIt Back program for single family residential buildings.

Non-Substantial Damage/Improvment Strategy Non-substantially improved buildings within the floodplain are not required to comply with Apendix G of the NYC Building Code. This allows for greater flexibility in adapting buildingd for flood resileincy. The blue icons below illustrate adaptive measures that receive full reduction of NFIP premiums. If the lowest occupiable floor is left below the DFE, life safety must be considered. Residents should always follow evacuation procedures. below the DFE may be used as parking, access, crawl space or storage. story addition within the adjusted bulk envelope. Restrict all uses below the DFE to parking, crawl space, access or storage. Elevate the entire structure on a new foundation system. Elevate critical systems above the DFE. Relocate to new mechanical room within existing structure. Stair access provided from below, adjacent to or in front of the elevated building. feet above the sidewalk grade, two streetscape mitigations are required.
Full NFIP premium reduction.

RESILIENT RETAIL STUDY
Cross Bay Boulevard is a major road connecting the Belt Parkway with Howard Beach, Broad Channel, and the Rockaways. It is wide and lined primarily with auto-oriented commercial uses to the north, and lower-density housing and retail as it passes through Broad Channel. The portion between the Belt Parkway and Jamaica Bay, in Howard Beach acts as a major thoroughfare with little pedestrian connectivity. The focus of this study was to improve the condition of the waterfront edge. The corridor is located entirely in the 100 year flood zone. The flood elevations minus ground elevation average 3.2 feet, and the maximum is over 6 feet along Shellbank Basin. Cross Bay Boulevard is a hub of larger retail options for shoppers in the south Queens, including Broad Channel, arriving by car. This case study will focus on business resiliency in light of the importance of having resilient anchor businesses serving customers from a wide geography.

THE EDIBLE CITY
Resilient, adaptive infrastructure cannot be built easily. It grows slowly but extensively, building up relationships in steps and bounds, integrating into surrounding systems, flows and entities; it evolves and shifts till it is essential and invisible. With urban populations growing in Milan, the productive landscapes is capable of operating at an urban scale, potentially growing in scale and capacity in step with the populations they aim to support. In this project, the potential of existing agricultural lands has been used as the driving factor to turn the suburben area, Segrate, to a sustainbale urban infrastructure by connecting the existing farmlad patterns an create the new landscape network that variety of activities take place within it.

COOL DISTRICT FOR A HOT NEIGHBORHOOD This project engages Red Hook, Brooklyn as a design laboratory and introduces the ideas, representations, and techniques of contemporary urban design and discourse through the lens of a resilient built environment. Red Hook is home to a diverse population of residents and workers, and heavily damaged by Hurricane Sandy (2012). With the help of the comprehensive catalog of climate-resilient urban forms, the goal was to design a compact, mixed-use housing project as part of a proposed Red Hook eco-district in Brooklyn, New York. Compact communities are desirable for mitigating climate change by reducing Greenhouse Gas emissions through spatial efficiencies, pedestrian access to public transportation and preservation of open space and habitat. However, in the New York metropolitan region, students will confront the energy-efficiency challenge to respond simultaneously to strong winds, flood risks, extreme temperature/humidity events, and deteriorating air quality.

Climate change affects the Nrotheast! Higher Temperatures and Percipitation Rates in the Northeast region “Heat waves, coastal flooding, and river flooding will pose a growing challenge to the region’s environmental, social, and economic systems. This will increase the vulnerability of the region’s residents, especially its most disadvantaged populations.” - Key Message, National Climate Assessment

ACTIVE ART-ZONE
The Gowanus Canal is in a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. It is situated between the communities of Redhook and Carroll Gardens on the west and Park Slope on the east. The main channel is 1.3 miles long. The Canal has three major spurs, also known as turning basins. The three main turning basins together add 0.5 miles to the total length of the waterway. Today, the area remains a vacant manufacturing hub of warehouses and parking surfaces. The city is proposing to rezone the area along the Gowanus canal to allow for mixed use, and residential buildings. Beyond the notion of rezoning the land-use area, the canal’s serious environmental infrastructure challenges human occupation among this toxic site. Mapping the existing physical conditions and area toxicity within the Gowanus study area (with the help of various EPA and USACE Reports) will lead a better understanding of the surrounding neighborhoods and how each community interacts with this post-industrial void. By stitching sides of the waterway together, we can connect existing commerical and residential areas on two sides of the canal by emphesising on “artistic and active open urban spaces” to enforce the pedestrain circulation, social interaction and thriving night life, over the Gowanus Canal. The current experence of the area is one of streets ending abruptly into viewless dead-ends.

2. INTERACTION The existing canal divides communities. Once circulation is established, i solated neighbor hoods will interact with each other. They will share community institutions, recreational fa cilities, and the waterfront.

Connections Gowanus Canal 3. CONNECTION Currently circulation and activity are restricted to the streets running parallel to the waterway. New experiences o f connection will occur when the banks of the canal are linked at the human scale.
Activaties Gowanus Canal 4. ACTIVATION By developing a network of spaces along the Gowanus Canal in both directions, accessing the edge of the canal is now possible. Board walks at the waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sedge will allow pe destrians to activate the pleasures of the waterway enjoy outdoor activities (like outdoor performance and concerts, art exhibitions,...)

PICTURE A COHERENT CENTER FOR DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN Downtown Brooklyn is the city’s third largest central business district after Midtown and Downtown Manhattan. Because of its close proximity to lower Manhattan and excellent local and regional mass transit access, Downtown Brooklyn occupies a valuable and unique position in New York City. On the map the area is bounded by Tillary Street to the north, Ashland Place to the east,Atlantic Center and Schermerhorn Street to the south, and Court Street to the west, but there is no clear image as “downtown” in people’s mind when you ask them where “downtown” is! Although it’s covered by diverse area with a high concentration of major office buildings, regional stores, residential buildings, government offices and a number of major academic and cultural institutions. This project is an effort to re-define the lost image o downtown Brooklyn by focusing on “Cadman plaza” area.
