REFURBANISM
An adaptive refurbish proposal for the City of Brooklyn and its greater region
An adaptive refurbish proposal for the City of Brooklyn and its greater region
Decades of declining maritime activity have left parts of the city’s waterfront underutilized. Meanwhile, various insufficiencies or inefficiencies were located along East River only to become pressured nodes within their respective systems (power plants, recycling facilities and it’s neighboring tech industry).
Refurbanism examines an curates a legacy of what are now underutilized and often abandoned hydraulic infrastructures and insufficient energy modes of productions within the city and offers through the lenses of Redesigning, Retrofitting and Refurbishing an evolutionary urbanism that cultivates sustainable practice through systems of exchange that include algae farming for energy and conformity to the growing trend of adjacent technological industries for adapting resilient and defensible Brooklyn.
