Donderdag 11 november 2044, een mega tsunami raakt met een 50 meter hoge golf de oostkust van Amerika. Niets is bestand tegen deze natuurkracht, die aan de andere kant van de Atlantische oceaan is ontstaan door een aardbeving bij de Canarische eilanden. Dit is een van de vele doemscenarios die door wetenschappers is voorspeld. Deze natuurrampen bereiken steeds vaker het witte doek en al snel ontstaat er een wereldweide angstcultuur. Dit plan speelt in op deze cultuur door de angst tastbaar te maken in de stad.

De angst wordt in dit ontwerp vertaald door het tegenovergestelde van angst, de Redding. Door zichtbaar te maken dat de bewoners moeten worden gered, zullen ze zich bewuster worden van de dreiging die boven hun hoofd hangt. De Redding is vertaald in een batterij aan bollen die in het verlengde van het grid zijn geplaatst zodat ze optimaal in het zicht liggen van de bewoners. Deze arken vormen een stille voorbode van het gevaar dat dreigt.

Nadat er zich een grote ramp heeft afgespeeld zullen de bollen zich verspreiden over heel New York. De bollen hebben verschillende afmetingen waardoor ze vanwege de verandering van dieptes in het water, hoogte van het land en breedte van de streets and avenues verder of minder ver New York zullen infiltreren.

De bollen zelf zijn opgedeeld in twee werelden. De eerste wereld waar de New Yorker zich in begeeft zijn lege vloeren. Deze lege ruimtes zullen toegankelijk worden op het moment dat het noodplan in werking treed en in normale toestand alleen een visuele relatie met de gebruiker aangaan.

De leegte is een weerspiegeling van de angst en het doemscenario dat New York zal gaan treffen. Eenmaal voorbij deze ruimtes begeef je je in een stille serene ruimte die aan de ene kant uitzicht biedt over het water en aan de andere kant een blik terugwerpt de stad in. In deze publieke plek kan je je terug trekken van het lawaai en de hektiek van de stad.

De bol biedt bescherming tegen de chaos van het stadsleven als tot de dag dat het water New York zal weg vagen.

THE BIG APPLEA park, hidden in the Upper Bay, that will secure the future of New York

By 2050 it is likely that the sea level in the New York Upper Bay wil rise between six inches and two feet as a result of global warming. The water level in the Upper Bay could rise three feet by 2080.

Because of higher water levels, it is likely that fl ooding as a result of severe storms (hurricanes) will increase dramatically. Storm surge levels could reach twenty-four feet in the New York area with a category 3 hurricane.

The Big Apple Park will most of the time be at the bottom of the Upper Bay, invisible from the shore. The Big Apple Park is a hidden world, only accessible by water.

The caissons will be drained and the park with the protecting shell will fl oat in times of threat. It will be tugged by boats toward The Narrows and will be ready for emergencies. While fl oating the center of the park provides stability for the entire construction.

Within one day the caisson shell can be opened and positioned above the submerged docks. When the caissons will be fi lled with water they will sink and form a big dam to protect the Up-per Bay for fl ooding. The leave is also a caisson that will secure the entrance at the east river, near the Brooklyn Bridge.

In the emergency mode the caissons of the apple shell and the leave are sunken and protect the Upper Bay. The center park of the apple is fl oating through the Upper Bay.

At the bottom of the Upper Bay there’s a mysterious, hidden park. A park like no other. Here you’ll fi nd a world of opposites: you can experience the tides of the sea in a great and exciting way, where water fl ows over the walls and clatters to the ground. Contrary to this is the serenity you’ll fi nd in the big apple orchard in the heart of the park.When this Big Apple will be embraced by the New Yorkers, they will know this isn’t only a fantastic place to be, they will know their lives in New York depend on it. This Apple will protect the residents of New York against future fl ooding.The apple isn’t only an attraction, but it’s also a fl exible fl ood barrier, that can be used when there’s a pre-diction that the water will reach to a dangerous level because of a coming storm. The skin of the apple consists out of four enormous caissons, these make it possible that the whole apple will fl oat when the reservoirs are emptied. In this mode the apple can be pushed to the submerged docks where it opens, and will be fi lled up with water again in order to secure to the ground and close the Narrows from the sea. From this moment on the Island which makes the whole construction stable is free; it can fl oat around and becomes a visible island in the Upper Bay. The apple leaf consists out of two caissons and will close the East river. The caissons all have a emergency fl oater that will make sure that with rising waterlevels the water can’t enter the bay. When using the tides in a clever way the apple can be easily placed in the right position. This can take place within 24 hours. Because of the marine we suggest a shipping lock in the Kill van Kull.

A PLAN FOR A SELF- CONSCIOUS NEW YORK CITY

In the history of America, Upper Bay once was an important starting point from which immigrants entered the United States. Because of future developments along Upper Bay, New York and Jersey will emphati-cally be orientated towards the water, re-making Upper Bay a meaningful heart for the city. Our interven-tions, five three-dimensional infographic experiences, aim to create awareness of the approaching world problems that threaten New York as well. In addition, they create Identity for Upper Bay and make it an extensive water park. The land value of the future developed urban edges will potentially increase.

The five interventions consist of grouped carbon fibre reinforced resin data-poles, which stand at varying heights and are anchored to the ground in concrete bases. The tapered poles sway in the wind to gener-ate electricity, making every experience self-supporting; a LED-lamp at the top glows and dims relative to the amount of power generated. Every group of poles is logically located throughout the bay in order to establish relations with the quay and houses an experience centre that makes one of the world prob-lems palpable. The non-programmed intermediate water surface is the water recreational equivalent of the lawns in Central Park.

New Yorkers travel by public transportation on an average of once every three days. This experience excites people to move through the city by public transportation, showing them all the great places along the subway-system entrances.

Air pollution remains a major problem in New York City that holds a double amount of asth-matics between 0 and 14 year old children compared to the national average. A breath-taking experience will elicit assertive behavi-our towards this growing problem.

A completely self supporting restaurant with vegetables and fruit that will be cultivated and served on site with an extremely short travelling distance, makes this restaurant an new experience for New York.

This experience consist of a journey through time in which the history, the present and the future of sustainable energy will be shown, explained and made understandable.

Being the most acute problem, the rising sea level will be experienced in a basin that lies partly under the water level at high tide in Upper Bay. Flooding will occur every 24 hour and will intensify the consciousness for this growing problem.

New York City

produceert 23 ton afval

per dag en de jaarlijkse kosten

hiervan zijn meer dan $1 miljard. De stad is

hiermee een van de meest afvalproducerende steden van de

westerse wereld.

Het afval wordt niet gescheiden ingezameld en 75% komt terecht op

vuilstortplaatsen in Pennsylvania en andere staten.

Om ondermeer milieutechnische en economische redenen is dit een gemiste kans.

Het is goedkoper en milieuvriendelijker om het afval dichtbij te verwerken. Met behulp van moderne technieken kan het

afval veel intelligenter worden verwerkt, en kan er duurzame energie worden gegenereerd.

There's no time to waste. Met dit ontwerp worden de mogelijkheden van afvalverwerking en de mogelijkheden zichtbaar gemaakt aan de

inwoners van New York.84% van het afval kan verwerkt worden met behulp van de

afvalvergascentrale. Het restproduct van de vergassing, COx, wordt in de glazen installatie door algen gezuiverd. Na het zuiveren kunnen de

algen worden gebruikt als brandstof voor de ophaaldiensten. Dit ontwerp van afvalverwerking is op deze manier een gesloten systeem.

De ruimtelijke ingreep is relatief klein, om zo de kwaliteit van de open ruimte van de Upper Bay te behouden. Het systeem staat symbool voor een milieubewuster New

York City. De installatie verstopt zich niet en voegt zich in de Upper Bay in de bestaande netwerken. Time to start wasting.Time to Waste
