Comprehensive Coastal Communities Competition, Honorable Mention
The purpose of the competition is to increase public awareness of challenges facing coastal regions in the wake of Superstorm Sandy and rising sea levels. As many neighborhoods in the Northeast struggle to rebuild, some do not address how to weather-proof their homes and communities against future, and likely larger, storms. Thus, a new housing typology is needed that can both respond to the existing context of the community and be able to withstand the forces of nature that caused so much destruction in 2012. Also, a community plan is proposed that can further aid in weatherproofing infrastructure and benefit existing homes in the neighborhood.
My entry, (re)Adapt, received an honorable mention in the competition. I specifically focused on the challenges facing my hometown on the south shore of Long Island, most of which is filled in marshland and canals. Instead of fighting nature, one must respond to it and allow weather events to occur while causing minimal damage. The proposed typology borrows mass elements from surrounding homes and adds sustainable features. By reducing the ground footprint, sealing infrastructure below grade, using local plantings, and adding permeable surfaces throughout the site, storm surges can flow freely across the low-lying landscape without damaging the home or community.
