Book excerpt: Waterfront cities have historically evolved through conditions generated by reciprocity between water and landscape. Just as water gives form to the natural landscape, it provokes form in the built environment. Today the relationship has become less apparent. The intention of this thesis is to explore the reintegration of a city with its waterfront through the building of public space and access. This thesis proposes a design as an investigation of the following: -- how spatial and visual access between inland and waterfront public places can enrich one's experience and understanding of a city -- how waterfront structures and built landscape can intensify the exchange between land and water -- how pier and warehouse vocabulary may be transformed and reinterpreted; and finally -- how programmatic balance of public and private, utilitarian and commercial developments may help to redefine and revitalize an urban waterfront.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Nature provided New York with a sheltered harbor but the city with a challenge: to find the necessary capital to build and expand the maritime infrastructure. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the city's government did not have the responsibility or the fiscal resources to develop needed port facilities. To build the infrastructure, the government awarded "water-lots" to private individuals to build wharves and piers, surrendering public control of the waterfront. For over 250 years private enterprise ran the waterfront; the city played a peripheral role. By the end of the Civil War chaos reigned and threatened the port's dominance. In 1870 the city and state created the Department of Docks to exercise public control and rebuild the maritime infrastructure for the new era of steamships and ocean liners. A hundred years later, technological change in the form of the shipping container and jet airplane rendered Manhattan's waterfront obsolete within an incredibly short time span. The maritime use of the shoreline collapsed, mirroring the near death of the city of New York in the 1970s. Ships disappeared and abandoned piers and empty warehouses lined the waterfront. The city slowly and painfully recovered. The empty waterfront allowed visionaries and planners to completely reimagine a shore lined with parkland. Along the new waterfront, luxury housing has transformed the waterfront neighborhoods where the Irish longshoremen once lived. A few remaining piers offer spectacular views of the city's waterways, now a most precious asset. The rebirth has been driven by complex private/public partnerships, with the city of New York playing only a peripheral role. The contentious question of private vs. public control of the waterfront remains a continuing issue in the 21st century"--
