Seattle Master Plan:2,500 jobs & 1,800 residents within 1/4 mile of Rainier Village.

Add commercial and residential density along Rainier and MLK while creating job opportunities for local residents.

Focus densiity near transit in order to encourage further development to the South.

WHEN FOUNDED, THE REGION WAS ABOVE SEA LEVEL. NOW, 50% OF NEW ORLEANS IS BENEATH SEA LEVEL AND STILL SINKING.

www.NOLAisWATER.com

As part of Washinton University and the the University of Torontos ongoing Gutter to Gulf collaboration, the NOLAisWATER website attempts to collect, distill and connect the everyday (as opposed to the catastrophic) water issues confronting New Orleans. The project tests the thesis that architects and urban designers posses a unique skill set for cataloguing and displaying information pertaining to the built environment.

River control stops flooding

Pumping lowers water table

Land sinks

Historically, the Mississippi ooded seasonally. When this water receded it left behind a new layer of sediment. The heavier particles settled near the river, creating the high ground on which the French Quarter sits today. Floods built land. River control has stopped sediment deposits that pre-viously accompanied seasonal ood-ing. The pumping of water to keep the city dry has also taken the water out of the soil, allowing it to dry up

and compact. New Orleans is thirsty.

MECHANISM

Before pumping technology was introduced to New Orleans, the entire city was above sea level. Pumps, introduced at the end of the 19th century, allowed for growth of the city into reclaimed wetlands yet also began removing ground water which started the ground sinking. Now parts of the city are well below sea level and still sinking.

LEVEES

CONNECTIONS

FAILURE MECHANISMS

EarthenFloodwalls

New Orleans is separated from sur-rounding water bodies by a series of levees. These levees primarily take two forms: earthen levees, and ood walls. Earthen levees are essentially highly-engineered piles of earth. Levee walls on the other hand, are concrete walls set on sheet pilings. Earthen levees require signicantly more space to reach the required hight, yet they also create occupiable space that levee walls do not.

SESC Centro

Providing health, wellness and cultural programs, SESCs play a crucial role in Sao Paulo. Located in the center of the city on a long lot stretched between two distinct urban conditions, this project attempts to match the scale and speed of each side while creating a much needed pedestrian route through the block.

ALAMAR RIVER PLAN

The Alamar river is the only remaining riparian zone within the city of Tijuana, a fact rendered particularly salient by the arid citys dwindling water supply and exploding population. Currently, the city plans on channelizing the river in order to maximize adjacent development. This proposal posits an alternative development model that fulfills the primary goals of the citys plan, while also maintaining the rivers functionality. The river bottom is heavily programmed with environmental and civic infrastructure in an attempt to foster the citiz
