Contested Territories, and Landscape of Deeds
Location : Jersey City, NJ / Instructor (Coordinator) : Mimi Hoang (Ziad Jamaleddine)
Situated in the Contested Territories between the Wild and Willed, the "Contingency Plan" Emerges as a Proactive Response to the Inevitable Rise of Sea Levels, Expected to Ascend Up to 9 feet in the Next Century due to Current Carbon Emissions. The Goal Entails Incrementally Re-Appropriating the Abandoned Train Shed in Liberty State Park, Navigating the Ever-Evolving Landscape with Adaptability at its Core. The Focus Extends Beyond Mere Physical Restoration, Aiming to Prolong the Life Cycle of Historical Landmarks by Integrating them into the Contested Territories.
