ut on those galoshes and get ready for some culture! New York City’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) recently welcomed “Rising Currents: Projects for New York’s Waterfront” – an exhibit showcasing five versions of New York City after sea levels rise.
According to MoMA’s site:
An architects-in-residence program at P.S.1 brings together five interdisciplinary teams, including Architecture Research Office (ARO), to re-envision the coastlines of New York and New Jersey around New York Harbor and to imagine new ways to occupy the harbor itself with adaptive “soft” infrastructures that are sympathetic to the needs of a sound ecology.
While touring the exhibit, you’ll read about new zoning ordinances, measure yourself against projected future tide lines, and explore how the city might look and feel after it’s partially covered in water. Fancy!
