Abstract
FLEXIBLE GROWTH will utilize modular and expandable designs to revitalize and HYBRIDIZE former and current coastal manufacturing areas within the New York metropolitan area. Using the latest technology in transportation, manufacturing and sustainable design, Flexible Growth will employ strategies which will restore biodiversity, and work within the context of sea level rise to develop new mixed-use communities, which will live next to and within New York’s waterways, in the next century. Over time, modules could be attached to existing buildings, creating mixed-use communities which can be further expanded and modified, responding to changing economic, social, and ecological conditions. In this future community within Hunts Point, residents will be able to work, and live within close proximity, as well as forming new social spaces.
