Hurricane Sandy Rebuild by Design Competition. The low-lying Meadowlands, a flood-prone area located across the Hudson River from New York City, is home to critical power, wastewater treatment, and transportation infrastructure for the region. Interventions here need to address the combined effects of flooding, heat islands, pollution, social vulnerability, and vital network protection. Learn more>>

Hurricane Sandy Rebuild by Design Competition. These research and design strategies focus on the value of “the beach,” a place of special significance to memory, state and local economies, and a vital component of coastal ecosystems. New Jersey’s northern shore includes the three coastal typologies found across the eastern seaboard of the United States: Barrier

Hurricane Sandy Rebuild by Design Competition. A finalist proposal to create an offshore barrier island chain centered on the NY/NJ harbor is called “The Blue Dunes” – blue indicating their position in the open ocean, and dunes for the natural landforms they mimic. Learn more>>
