On a post
industrial site in Brooklyn, New York, Super docking imagines a self
sustaining working waterfront that is the center for green and clean
industries that are incubators for new technologies. The site is
adaptable to climate change, geared for living infrastructure and
seamless land and water interface. The project showcases the historic
dry docks, which are dedicated to 3D digital printing and scanning,
ecological testbeds, and moving raw materials and finished goods on and
off the site.The surface of the site mitigates land and sea, clean
water and pollutants, combined sewage overflow and sets the terrain for
pedestrian movement through the site. The project is a living vascular
membrane, it is a ecological industrial landscape established to manage
both man made and natural systems, while considering land use needs and
the urgency to aggregate innovation for social and economic diversity. It
encourages research, both as an industrial activity and as an
ecological activity to promote new products and areas of industry.
