HYDROSENSUS 2.0

The Operative HydroSensus (OHS) project is designed to establish a new relationship between urban residents and their public waters. The OHS is a floating platform that combines bio-mimicry components to improve water quality with sensory technology that measures improvement and broadcasts it on multiple channels. Through a framework of communication and education the OHS will create a way for users to ‘talk to the river’ – receiving immediate information and understanding the effects that changes in the built environment such as catchment basins and green roofs can have on the health of the urban ecosystem.

The HydroSensus project is developed in collaboration with Jenny Chen-Cheng Chou.

NEXT GENERATION POD

Temp:: has collaborated with Jenny Chou to submit a new and improved version of the floating-remediating-communicating pod to the Next Generation design competition organized by Metropolis Magazine.
The pod offers a new Water User Interface (WUI) for the urban environment, operating in two parallel landscapes – an event landscape and a virtual landscape.

AMPLIFY WATERFIELD

Identifying and defining the Waterfield – an area of influence along the New York City Waterfront, and developing two design typologies addressing the two main land uses found along the water – industry and open spaces. The typologies learn from one another, creating an industrialized landscape, and a naturalized industry as demonstrated in the Brooklyn Navy Yard and in University Heights, Bronx.
AMPLIFY WATERFIELD is a student project designed with Jenny Chou and Kevin Wei in the Urban Design studio at Columbia University GSAPP.
