2012
This research project was a collaboration between architects at the University of Edinburgh and engineers at Heriot-Watt University. The competition asked for the design of a renewable energy landscape on decommissioned landfill, FreshKills in Staten Island, New York. Through a series of site interventions, the project makes legible the subterranean, terrestrial, and aerial conditions that create very particular microclimate conditions on the site. The competition entry was exhibited on site as part of a public outreach initiative organised by competition organisers.
