Green infrastructure holds tremendous promise for the future of cities. With our national highway infrastructure reaching the end of its projected lifespan there is an opportunity for adaptation of these larger conduits into new ecological corridors. dlandstudio catalyzes change by finding ways to make mono-functional infrastructure systems such as highways and canals more environmentally productive. The firm proposed transformation of the form, perception and experience of infrastructure systems to make cities more ecologically resilient. She will discuss projects in New York including the Gowanus Canal Sponge Park, BQGreen, MoMA Rising Currents among others.
