An urban scale project that was heavily based on research about the site, the rising water level climate crisis, and how architecture is responding to that crisis. The studio worked with RETI center, which stands for Resilience, Education, Training, and Innovation. We conducted our own researches and developed individual responses for the client. RETI wanted a floating continued education center in New York City’s Red Hook and Sunset Park SMIA. To best serve their need, I conducted a thorough site analysis of Red Hook including income, land use, transportation, use of waterfront, ease of access, and a SWOT analysis. Based on these analyses a master plan for the area and a catalog of amphibious structures was proposed. The floating facility was to be used as a trade school on GBX industrial site creating a relationship between the RETI Center (community educator) and GBX (industrial job provider).
