Delta Intervention

Abstract

The Delta Intervention Studio Deals with the practical problem of the water?related architecture design and urban planning. It’s a combination of architecture, civil engineering and management which provide practical reference for the real project in Houston. Due to a changing climate and changing insights concerning sustainable relations between cities and water?landscapes, new interventions will be needed to create a new urban delta?landscape. The task of an architect in this studio is to develop an architectural object in such a waters cape. This Project researched the possibilities in architecture to provide better waterfront public space and flood protection for TMC and the Brays Bayou. Like the subject of the studio, this project is a research of the different aspects of the delta and the possibilities this brings for an architectural design. It focus on the bayou water type in Houston, deals with the sustainable, economic and social topics of Brays Bayou in TMC.
