CLIMATE STRATEGIES
MY TEAM
MY TEAM TOPIC • In the 1950's, the port authority of New York and New Jersey developed
MY TEAM MAP an 85 acre shipping complex, along the shoreline. The concrete
PHOTOS & VIDEO
structures had a negative effect toward the climate of the region. During
the day, the concrete releases heat radiation making the area unbearably
INVENTORY
hot.
ASSETS
• More green areas should be built along the shoreline and the surrounding
LIABILITIES
neighborhood.
DESIGN STRATEGIES
• Historical sites should be incorporated within the landscape providing
CIRCULATION
