During Spring, the Linear Park goes through a regrowth. The leaves on the trees begin to grow once more, flowers are planted on their respective beds across the canal.
Summer

By summer time the trees are activated fully throughout the stretch of the park. Flowers are fully grown in their place alongside the lawns and meadows. The cancal itself serves as an activity zone for kayaking and skating.
Fall

During this transitional season, the trees within the park endure its leaves falling. As the weather begins to cool, the temperature lowers which begins to activate the park’s program functions for colder enviroments. This includes enclosed spaces primarily for social activity.
Winter
Linear Park Urban Layers
When the temperature decreases during the winter the canal freezes which creates perfection conditions for a skating park. The flower beds which were used during the summer and spring become areas where people can gather around so spectate and/or warm up and grap a hot beverage.

Urban Ripple For decades the Brooklyn Navy Yards led the industry in ship repair and design during the height of war. After World War II, the shipyards transformed into an industrial park as the need for warships declined. Until today, the site remains isolated from the general public due to its historic nature. Urban Ripple seeks to closen the gap between the Navy Yards and the surrounding neighborhoods by blurring the boundaries of the industrial park. This is achieved by introducing program influenced directly from the context in order to build a relationship with the community. The design concept functions on a decentralized system which services various parts of the Navy Yards and greater public. The system is composed of three groups (Urban Farms, Cultural Art Center, Hydropower) which are interconnected through means of interaction and energy.

The intent of introducing urban agriculture is to change the dynamics and community associated with NYCHA. New York City suffers from obesity rates higher than the average. Studies have shown that this statistic is correlated with inadequate access to fresh and healthy food. The proposal seeks to create a new branch of NYCHA consisting of amenties and shops which service residents. This helps create jobs for both the proposed and existing lots. The goal is to create a ripple effect which will in return eliminate the stigma associated with NYCHA.

The open-air market creates a center of exchange covering every practical aspect of life from food, furniture, collectibles, vintage, art, and fashion. Simlar markets in the area have proved to be successful due to their economic impact and popularity. By chosing a location across from NYCHA and the Commodore Barry Park, it maximizes its exposure to the general public.

The industrial park leads the site as the primary work horse within the Navy Yards. Its economic output is evident widely in the impact it has towards Brooklyn. By condensing the park’s constraints, unused space can be used to activate public activity.

Both Brooklyn College and Carnegie Mellon plan to integrate media programs with the studio opening the door to further activity and participation.
The largest film and television studio campus outside of Hollywood sits within the Navy Yards on a 26 acre private property (Phase 1, Phase 2).The studio serves as a pinnacle point for New York City’s $1.5 billion film industry.

The Hydro Triangle was designed to take the polluted, un-usable water and create energy and clean potable water with out leaving an impact on the environment. The process starts when the tides current turns the turbines of the hydro power plant and energy is created through the generators above. From there the energy is sent to the Navy Yard as well as the desalination and water treatment plants allowing the processes to function with out any requirement of outside power. The water from the hydro power plant goes to the desalination plant where it is purified of the salts from the river and sent to the water treatment plant next. Finally the water is treated and acceptable as potable, at which point it is sent to either the urban farms for irrigation or for use in the aquarium.

Wallabout Bay
Traditional Levee Design The conventional approach to stop an area from flooding due to high water levels is to surround it with a permanent barrier. The downside to a physical barrier is that it breaks the relationship between the people and the water. Levees are also prone to eroding and disintegrating over time.
Navy Yard Coast
Navy Yard Coast
Proposed Wall (Inactive) When water levels are normal, the platform lays parallel to the ground serving as a bike path connecting various points of the Navy Yards. With this method, the coast is blended in which opens access to the water
Proposed Wall (Active) When water levels rise, the platform activates via hydraulics and water pressure containing the water. This is achieved by harnessing the rising storm water via fabric bubbles which inflate into sacks holding the water within. The platform rotates to a 90째 to support the sacks witholding the pressure.
