.the nests of new york.

Treating Floodwater

Not treating water as something that needs to be contained

Allow water to flow naturally throughout the city

Create infrastructure that does not try to separate itself from floodwater

These infrastructures will act as nests similar to how ships relate with the ocean

These nests will house different types of urban ecologies already present in cities

They will cultivate these ecologies in the presence of rising floodwater

The relationship of the nests with the topography of the land will change over time depending on the level of floodwater, with some vessels becoming submerged
