Main focus of the project is to address the sea level rise at the city of New York. As the city itself keeps growing in size, and population the rise of the sea level becomes more and more an important factor to keep in mind in future designs. It is estimated that throughout the next 100 years sea level will rise up to 2 m, affecting the coastline of New York.We focus on a specific area to identify the impact and ways to address it. Our area is located at the South East edge of New York, next to JFK Airport, what is called the Jamaica Bay. Adjacent to this area are located mainly public green spaces and parks, an ideal urban background for a new city to form from.The method we are using is addressing the sea - level rising as an opportunity for further development instead of a problem. We decide to move towards the sea and try to redevelop the areas that will be affected by the sea level rise as habitable spaces. Studying the sea levels and the contours of the existing landscape we identify the vulnerable areas that will be affected first and prioritize them. Each vulnerable area will be redeveloped as a new mini borough and will develop independently; all new areas will be formed simultaneously creating a complex system along the coastline. After the high-priority areas will be redeveloped the system will gradually start to grow, from area to area, adjusting itself to the sea-level rise and to the needs of the new city.In order to create a programmatic frame for the new city we use the Danzer packing system, an aperiodic system from which we develop a 3-D urban “irregular grid” that will host the uses and spaces of the new city. The Danzer system, consisted by 4 basic bits, each one with different characteristics that will affect different uses and spatial attributes. Validating the behavior of the aggregation outcomes we assign bit A as landscape, B as transportation, C as public spaces and K as voids, all of them, 4 sub-systems that consist our urban system that will create the waterfront borough.As the areas keep growing and “replacing” the affected landscape, they begin to form a net along the bay, connecting the areas between them and also creating new spaces entirely on the sea, the redeveloped vulnerable areas act as “anchor” points that will constrain the network –city to stay over water as the sea level keeps rising.
