Soak - Store - Release : A Tale of 9 Cities and their Architectural Interventions

An imagined example of an “integrated solution: public arts + infrastructure + wetland remediation. Delaware River, Philadelphia, PA, 2011

Keihly Moore, 3rd Year Graduate : Architecture + Urban Design

Themes + Continuing Thesis:

1. Design + (Storm)Water = Better Public Space?

2. Waterfront + ____X____ = Experience + Place

3. Planning for: Climate Change + Flood Resiliency = How?

4. Places = multibenefitial Places = specialization

Shifting populations | Shifting climates | Opportunities

It is imperative.

Populations moving to cities (housing!) + rising coastal density + fluctuating environments + increased demand on resources + more frequent/severe storm events =

DESIGN opportunity + proactive planning/policy measures

My history | My motivations | Local, regional, national + international relevence

In the 1960’s, citizens became increasingly upset regarding the sewage stench from Sugar and Little Sugar Creeks in Charlotte. In response to numerous citizen complaints, the Mecklenburg County Health Department hung 55 gallon drums of orange blossom deodorant from bridges and allowed the fragrant liquid to drip into creeks to mask the odors. This effort proved unsuccessful. Water quality problems came to head in the late 1960’s.

Themes + Continuing Thesis:

1. Design + (Storm)Water = Better Public Space?

2. Waterfront + ____X____ = Experience + Place

3. Planning for: Climate Change + Flood Resiliency = How?

4. Places = multibenefitial Places = specialization

What’s next? How does this apply to Charlotte?

1. How can US cities better integrate storm water infrastructure into public space? (Think greenways for dense cities.)

2. How can water be viewed as a resource instead of wastewater?

3. How can we jump-start our planning efforts to be more resilient and thoughtful towards our resources?
