Our design implements blue-green infrastructure to promote climate resilience. The plan is embedded with a range of innovative water-treatment solutions for retaining and cleansing stormwater before releasing it into the harbor and river. These include cleansing biotopes integrated into park spaces and the creation of new natural habitats intended to support riparian flora and fauna.
With the aim of preserving Singapore’s rainforest ecosystem which is under threat from development and human activity, a nine-month baseline study guided the landscape design. The park design has revived the area, restoring its natural forest and wetland habitat, integrating water-sensitive solutions, fauna protection, heritage conservation, and inviting visitors into an engaging natural environment.

The sports park acts as a multifunctional urban oasis open to all members of the community. With sloping green areas, walking and cycling paths, a skate park, and playgrounds, the park invites visitors from the community and opens the area up for new uses. Photo: Rasmus Hjortshøj.

Through a relationship with Jamaica Bay Rockaway Parks Conservancy (JBRPC), Dirtworks Landscape Architecture assembled a team of professionals to develop and engineer a sustainable living shoreline, restoring almost nine acres and 2,600 linear feet of coastal salt marsh habitat. This action improves resiliency for existing wetlands, shorelines, and other sensitive habitat areas, while also restoring and establishing coastal salt marshes.

Industry City is an aggregation of over 400 companies focused on craft and innovation. Terrain’s courtyard, one of 4, is dramatically set in the former Bush Terminal Industrial Campus- the nation’s first vertical factory. The courtyards, formerly railroad loading docks which delivered goods to the stacked warehouses and factories, are now a public gesture towards the community and the tenants of over 6 million square feet of workspace.

Former deteriorated wetland habitat has been successfully transformed into a working marsh that remediates urban storm-water runoff and waste tailwater from the water supply plant. Since the wetland is largely under the control of natural, rather than human, processes, it is likely to become overgrown with seasonal wetland vegetation and ground cover, forming a wild and messy naturalized landscape.

A site surrounded by intensive development and bounded by the creek at the west and an urban through traffic road at the east. It is a remnant landscape patch made of rolling hills covered with a mosaic of red sandstone exposure, vegetated patches of bushes and grass, and small patches of farm land, and a riparian flood plain down to the river basin, and a linear tree grove along the river edge.

The challenges are obvious: How can a disappearing wetland be preserved in the middle of the city when its ecological and biological processes have been cut off by the urban context? How such an urban wetland ecosystem can be designed to provide multiple ecosystems for the city? And what is the economic way to deal with such a big landscape?

Erie Street Plaza is a flexible social space that can accommodate large gatherings and day-to-day activities, built on sustainable design principles. It is one of a series of public space activators along the Milwaukee Riverwalk, a three-mile pedestrian and bicycle corridor that connects downtown Milwaukee to the emerging and redeveloping Third Ward and Beerline Districts, and to the lakefront beyond.
The design inventively integrates sustainable stormwater, material, and lighting strategies; it reorients downtown to the riverfront and creates a flexible space for civic gatherings; and frames opportunities for new development while creating an entirely new image for the City of Green Bay. In addition, CityDeck was designed to withstand a 100 year flood.
