Gabriel's Tactics









Tactic 1: Erosion and Sedimentation
It consist of opening up the concrete wall at the waterfront and allow natural erosion and sediments to to re-build the shore line. There is already sand accumulation under the Brooklyn bridge. Rain water accumulates naturally under the FDR(perhaps as a sign of underground close-by water). Removal of all parking activity under the FDR Drive.


Tactic 2: Beading
By observing behavior and and traces within the site, a series of shelter spaces would be created, connecting up-stream and down-stream spaces and paths. These spaces would contain activities observed such as: music, gardening, domino, exercise, fishing, cooking, sunbathing.



Tactic 3: Refuge
Taking advantage of the sheltering effect of the FDR drive and on and off raps. spaces holding activities such as music, gardening, domino, exercise, will be crated reproducing the sheltered spaces observed up-stream.
