Buoyant Ecologies Float Lab The Buoyant Ecologies Float Lab is a prototype for a new kind of resilient coastal architecture. It merges expertise from design, advanced composites manufacturing, and marine ecology to imagine a floating architecture of the future that can exist productively with its surrounding environment. The project has developed through a multi-year partnership between academia and industry that serves as a model for expanding architectural agency beyond architecture’s traditional disciplinary limits. The project consists of a floating breakwater structure that incorporates a digitally fabricated, ecologically optimized fiber-reinforced polymer composite substrate. Underwater, the hull’s peaks and valleys vary in size to provide habitats for different species of invertebrates.
Urban Omnibus New York City’s coastal communities and maritime environments are the subject of a lot of renewed attention in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. Practical urban strategy debates of whether to retreat or rebuild do not deal with speculative questions about how the new normal of stronger storms and seasonal inundation might actually suggest new forms of city life. This past semester, in a landscape architecture studio at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, Chris Reed (working with David Mah, Leire Asensio Villoria, Silvia Benedito, Zaneta Hong, Eduardo Rico, and Enriquetta Llabras) charged his students with exactly this kind of speculation, introducing questions of urbanism and citymaking into the core sequence of studio work for landscape architects. The studio site was Jamaica Bay, an ecologically rich habitat containing many marshy islands, surrounded by highly developed residential and industrial areas including JFK airport, Floyd Bennett Field, and neighborhoods like Marine Park.
Hong Kong’s ozone pollution levels nearly doubled over two decades, report from local air-quality watchdog shows Levels of ozone, a major air pollutant and greenhouse gas, have nearly doubled in the past 21 years in Hong Kong, though certain other pollutants dipped in the same period, a study by a local air-quality watchdog revealed on Monday. The Clean Air Network review, based on data from the Environmental Protection Department, found the yearly average concentration of ozone reached 54.29 micrograms per cubic metre in 2019, up from 29.56 in 1998. Ozone pollution was particularly bad on the western side of Hong Kong, which included Tuen Mun, Yuen Long and Tai Po, although the highest level of ozone pollution was in Tseung Kwan O.

Fionn Byrne Fionn Byrne teaches at the School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture at the University of British Columbia, in Vancouver, Canada. His research focuses on the relationships between nature, aesthetics, and ethics, using speculative design to challenge dominant environmental narratives. The persistent interest in Byrne’s work is to better understand the ethical obligations of the design fields. He contends that all design decisions involve value judgements, that any acts of building in the world are political, and that question of justice must always be raised when we seek to modify our physical environments.
