Responding to Climate Change with Creative Urban Infrastructure

摘要

The Dryline project addresses New York City's vulnerability to coastal flooding with a protective ribbon in southern Manhattan-and is the winner of the global Bronze prize of the LafargeHolcim Awards, the international competition for sustainable design and construction. Created by a consortium led by BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group and One Architecture, the 13 km (8 mile) long infrastructural barrier incorporates public space with the high-water barriers doubling as parks, seating, bicycle shelters, and skateboard ramps.
