no containment method for dealing with toxins

potential for groundwater contamination if done improperly

requires small area to build

relatively small amount of material

weakest levee system

little chance for interaction with water

resists more force than a seawall

cheaper and easier to maintain and repair

rammed earth requires a low slopetakes up more ground area

levee infrastructure becomes a revenue generating asset

flooding stormwater provide free high-nutrient silts

untested in storm conditions

hybrid design produces biofuel from CO2 waste

renders tunnel exhaust towers harmless

Tunnel exhaust towers transform from isolated structures to anchors of the new parks.

The new infrastructure transforms an unused site to a park in the heart of New Orleans.

The canal brings a protective, productive environment to the landscape.The visitor’s center provides opportunities for people to learn about water purification.

Terraced park allows wastewater to flow through purifying wetlands naturally.

Wetland terraces provide habitat while purifying the water.

assuming: average citizen of Cyprus produces 3L concentrated sewage per capita  the urban park will source sewage from 10,000 people  200ft3 of sewage can generate 1kW

only effective in areas with strong winds

power often needs to be transported great distances

simple mechanical system that effectively holds back surges and floods

requires moderate amounts of energy to rundoes not take advantage of possible energy generation potential

infrastructure project combines electricity, transport, communication,

  and tidal power generation in single object

complex set of systems may be difficult to maintain and repair

captures energy from tide changes

if water is held in reservoir, energy can be captured all day

infrastructure can be further exploited

Modules combine to form park space and tidal pools. This self -sustaining resort aims to revital ize Cancun’s tourism industry.

Docks can be easily integrated into New York’s waterfront. Underwater structures contain desalination plants and tidal turbines.View of the lagoon wall from Swansea.

The difference in water level creates pressure, making tidal lagoons more effective.

assuming: 10,000kW tidal turbines are used assuming: same 24kW turbines as Roosevelt Island project(33.8% of North Sea)

London Array, the world’s largest offshore windfarm,covers approximately 100km2 and currently outputs 630MW in phase 1.

The second largest tidal power station in the world, LaRance has a 750m long barrage that generates 240MW.

The 12.7km tidal barrage was originally built in 1994to secure fresh water for agriculture. A 254MW tidal powerplant is now under construction.

GRO Architects were inspired by the pilot program issuedby the Federal Energy Regulatory Comission. Each testturbine generates 35kW.

This 50m2 floating home is completely powered by 25m2 ofphotovoltaic cells that generate 1.64kW peak output.
