NEW YORK EMERGENCY, NY 2009
concept We propose to built immediately floating structures containing different functions that the city needs even in not emergency times, but that can be easily converted, such as hotels and residential spaces, and reception spaces, events spaces, green and recreational spaces, cultural spaces, sport spaces and cars recovers. The floating structures are the ensemble of these functions: they are floating volumes that can be moved, anchored, connected to the land, connected to themselves, usable before, during and after the emergency. The floating structures can have different forms and dimensions one to each other, to be more ore less dense, to have the chance to be modified and to contain different functions. The floating structures will be public and property of the city. We developed our idea through diagrams, drawings and renderings, focusing our attention on the study a typical floating structure, as showed in the graphic documents.
