What if New York..

Recientemente hubo un concurso que pedía imaginar a diseñadores y arquitectos esto:


'What if New York City were hit by a Category 3 hurricane? What if the most densely residential city in the country loses hundreds of thousands of homes in a few hours? What if millions are left with nowhere to live, to work, or to go to school? What if subways flood, streets close, and whole neighborhoods are submerged by up to 23 feet of ocean water and battered by 130 mile-per-hour winds? What if New Yorkers need a place to live during years of reconstruction?'




La propuesta ganadora, títulada Cloud City, provino del despacho neoyorkino Studio Lindfors, y consiste en una suerte de viviendas-globo, que se 'atarían' a los edificios mientras la ciudad se recupera... propuesta semi utópica, pero vale la pena checarla en el BLDGblog
