A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Sponge Urbanism
Using New Orleans as a case study, the proposed research, Sponge Urbanism, examines the potential of infrastructure to anticipate, rather than react to, flux in ecologic, economic and technologic systems. Rather than enhance the false dichotomy between nature and culture, the aim is to rethink these systems and suggest broader, more integrated landscape and architectural tactics that achieve resilience in the face of extreme circumstances.
