Being able to look out for my community or state if needed, after a disaster, is a responsibility I take seriously. Because I’m a building inspector and contractor, I’m afforded this privilege 😊 #postdisaster #eartquake #fire #flood #emergencyservices #homeinspection (at Claremont, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmdFTNRL64M/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

POST DISASTER ROOFTOPS EP02 - "A New Abnormal"

L’episodio 02 sarà ambientato nella città vecchia di Taranto nei giorni 14 e 15 settembre 2019. Il titolo si riferisce a una riflessione del filosofo ambientalista Glenn Albrecht, secondo il quale gli uomini sembrano essersi adattati, su scala globale, all’esperienza di una nuova a-normalità: una crescente condizione di disturbo di massa che produce un sentimento collettivo di alterità rispetto ai propri luoghi di riferimento. Sempre più spesso, paesaggi o territori una volta percepiti come familiari, risultano alterati da trasformazioni drastiche e veloci causate dall’azione umana. A partire da territori come Taranto, il cui stress sociale ed economico è esacerbato da fattori ambientali di carattere non-locale, è possibile riconoscere l’architettura della città come una tecnologia eco-politica? Cosa dovremmo fare per alimentare intelligenze collettive in grado di opporsi alle principali dinamiche, globali e interconnesse, alla base di questa condizione? In linea con le intenzioni multidisciplinari del progetto, questo episodio raduna ospiti provenienti da diversi campi di ricerca (studi urbani, filosofia, architettura, arte contemporanea). Proveremo ad affrontare questi temi attraverso contributi di diversa natura: letture, conversazioni aperte, performance sonore e installazioni spaziali. - I luoghi dell’evento saranno i tetti di Palazzo Lojucco, nel cuore della città vecchia di Taranto, in via Duomo. Il punto di ritrovo per le due giornate dell’evento sarà la scultura abitabile concepita dall’artista Franco Carrino nella Piazza Fontana di Taranto. Il programma prevede il raduno alle ore 17:00, seguito da un attraversamento della città per raggiungere insieme il luogo dove assistere e partecipare alle azioni previste dall’episodio. Gli incontri e le performance avranno inizio durante il tramonto e proseguiranno fino a sera.

*The aptly named “Salty Urbanism,” as Floridian towns slowly submerge from climate change.

https://www.aia.org/showcases/169556-salty-urbanism-sea-level-rise-adaptation-st

Responding to studies indicating that 490 communities in major U.S. cities will be chronically flooded by 2100 due to climate change, the Salty Urbanism project introduces a new framework for urban design, particularly for vulnerable South Florida. Salty Urbanism embeds ecosystem services and adjusts to the increasingly salty conditions in the region, where limestone substrate introduces challenges not found in any other U.S. coastal location.

Exploring the possibilities where the city and water meet, the plan presents a methodical approach for creative development and takes its cues from the robust networks of biodiversity found in the concepts of reconciliation ecology. Having developed a number of toolboxes to provide the design framework, the team explores everything from building typologies to a salt-tolerant landscape palette.

"This is a series of toolboxes and frameworks giving each community a myriad of potential responses that could work for them as they work together." ~ Jury statement

In Fort Lauderdale—heralded as the “Venice of America” due to its 300 miles of coastline and industries that rely on interaction with the water—the team focused on the city’s North Beach neighborhood for its case study. The city faces flooding from a number of sources, among them costal storm surge and urban runoff, but it is troubled by nearly yearly 24 king tide events, a number predicted to rise to 120 in just 10 years. Situated just six feet above sea level, North Beach would experience irreversible impact if no adaptations were implemented.

Deploying the toolboxes, the case study balances stakeholder buy-in and political will through three scenarios spanning the next 10 to 60 years. Beyond an initial call to botanize the existing asphalt and focus on streetscape improvements in the immediate future, the scenarios range from conservative (implementation of a “green jacket” of living shoreline) to radical (a significant shift in land assembly and development of amphibious building), prompting in-depth conversations about how Fort Lauderdale and its residents can live with, on, and over the water.

Through ecologically based infrastructure that spurs functionality and future growth, Salty Urbanism provides critical survival strategies for a future destined to experience continued climate change and sea level rise.

"The nuanced, organic approach invites the community to really own a solution. These frameworks could be implemented in any community facing the dilemma of sea level rise." ~ Jury statement

Urban-like post-disaster rural housing incorporates rooftop gardens

Snippet: The homes are relatively simple: exposed concrete frameworks with brick walls, and windows to help bring in light and cross-ventilation. In addition to the homes, a community centre with a green roof has also been installed. But what's striking here is that the houses are configured and terraced in a way that promotes a more urban feel, reflecting the studio's design response to the Chinese government's plan to urbanize half of the country's 700 million rural citizens by 2030, but in a local context.
