pretty sure you’d get more comments, etc, if you put a link to this blog on the exhibition page. current location of blog nested inside explore/inside_out/ structure may explain dearth of public comments.

saw the exhibit and attending the presentation afterward on 3/24/10, and had conflicted feelings. models and presentation are exciting, and addressing the problem of climate change and its impact on the city is timely and important. still, i had the nagging feeling that the language being used to frame the problem/solutions, is kinda chummy and insular, which deflect attention, rather than focus it. call me a nitpicker…

Great Exhibit! Very informative!
Keep up the good work!

Sign at the front of the exhibit treating sea level projection for 2080 as being in fifty years, and speaking of “up to” two foot increase (which could be 2 inches, or even a decrease) as equivalent to a two foot increase is yet anotyher example of AGW fanatics playing fast and loose with the numbers.

Posted by Namfleg Ebeohp

I think this project has a couple of floses and could possibly work but it is going to take a while for it to completely work. Also people arent always going to help out many will just ignore this because they dont believe in global warming or any of this they believe in simply because they are in denile. hope best of luck on this pipe dream and future projects.

Marcelo Massimi

Posted by Marcelo Massimi

At one level a fantastic project, show and website. Innovative at many levels. BUT…the technical language of design is a major form of distance from the masses who need to understand what the teams are talking about. For at least thirty years people have been creating media that explains complex concepts in science in language that average people can understand and get excited about. Some of these people needed to be engaged in the process of the construction of this exhibition. Also – what good does it do to stick this exhibit in the rarefied halls of MOMA? Maybe the show should travel to the American Museum of Natural History, next. The entrance fees are a lot less expensive. Also – the work could have done a better job teasing out how all of this design will impact the diversity of communities in the region – how human beings relate.

Posted by R. Segal

I have not seen yet the exhibition but will do so in May. But from the few video clips (largely of Team 0, Lower Manhattan) I come away with the impression that the term “infrastructure” was used not holistically. In particular: have the teams addressed how to integrate the current transportation infrastructure (rail and road tunnels crossing the Hudson and East River, and subways connecting the 4 out of 5 boroughs) with your “new New York”. Much of this infrastructure is at risk of being flooded from sea level rise and storm surges. I hope, when I see the exhibit at MOMA, that adaptive measures to protect or modify these essential transportation systems and reduce their vulnerabilities to SLR cum storm surges have been fully integrated into the designs. If not – these would be of little value and utility, despite the otherwise great concepts of a “softer” waterfront put forward. Any response from the teams would be most welcome.

Posted by Klaus Jacob

excellent exhibition, oin which you seem to REALLY care about the environment surrounding NY. As it is my first time here and I have found a wonderful city, I’d love to see it preserved!! Good job teams!!

Fascinating exhibit! I have attended once and will definitely be back for more. The designs are thought out and well planned I truly would recommend this to anyone that visits the MOMA. And I encourage everyone reading these comments to do the same if you haven’t already! This deals directly with the impact that the melting ice caps will have on cities like NYC. Whether you believe in global warming or not this is still an amazing display of ingenuity!

This is an excellent exhibit. However, it neglected to discuss an important area susceptible to sea level rise that has been undergoing extensive redevelopment, the Rockaways. While results of sea level rise may spell impending doom, it would be nice to still see it addressed.

Posted by VeeNushii

I am glad that bright minds are seeing the opportunity in this on-coming crisis. It appears that New York will be coming into a more “traditional” relationship with its environment such like the early Native Americans. I applaud their looking into the wealth of wisdom in history that can be “rejiggered” for modern usage. Congratulations for being proactive and not allowing New York City to sink into the sea as Venice is doing, nor ruined by less than thorough, slap-dash solutions that failed in New Orleans. These ideas and plans give rise to hope for a new and improved future rather than an apocalyptical terror of a new Dark Ages. I hope I am still alive to see all these new wonders!

Perhaps this is the “ah-ha” moment for me in this century of visits to MOMA. My first moment was when I visited in the 50′s with my mom, stood in front of a Jackson Pollack, then decided I was an artist to be. Here, today, this exhibit confirms my desire to make little mess of the planet, to embrace forward thinking concepts such as this “Rising Currents” visionary exhibit and to come back in the next life as an architect. NYC and surroundings deserve this sort of futuristic, reality study. Ok, then, I will now return to the high desert with new respect for what needs to be done to prepare for future changes in climate.

Thanks for this marvelous exhibit. As a climate change activist, I am encouraged by the obvious seriousness with which you approached the projects. The estimates of SLR that you used are refreshingly realistic (at least for today!). The creativity and scope of thinking that you brought to the task is impressive.

We’re beginning to work on an adaptation plan for our little town, so I may be getting in touch with some of you as we get going.

For Aaron Forrest ( aka “First-Amendment Forrest”)

Hopefully, you’ll recognize who this is by the name I used for you. In any case, I really enjoyed the exhibit and plan to buy the book. Too bad this sort of study wasn’t done 30 years ago for New Orleans -and implemented!

I particularly liked how you utilized obsolete structures, materials, and waste -rather than “clean them up” which creates its own problem. Also how industry readily co-exists with the environment, rather than “hiding it”.

Increasing the coastline around LSP creates great economic opportunity. As a native of Bay Ridge, I look forward to returning home for some GREAT seafood!

Found the info fascinating but unclear in execution. The volume of ideas was tremendous but I had difficulty connecting with a clear problem/solution explanation. Ideas are gathered and layered without a clarity which allows most to take in the real situation and proposed solutions in a manageable way. Thanks for all the great info though! High hopes for some implementation!!

Wonderful projects, smartest idea ! And it’s really interesting how much a lot of them try to outperform how the nature and the ancient people tried to keep safe their cities and live. Adopting innovative solutions and materials.
In Europe we have cities that reached yet the limit for a normal life. Venice for example, hope to see your exhibition all around the world,
hope to be back soon and see some results !

Posted by bianca

i really love New Aqueous City’s video that simply explains its fundamentals, and I also love Working Waterline’s re-imagining of bio/energy reuse.

I’d also like to see one more re-imagining – something that involves the ordinary citizen. What is it that the ordinary citizen can do to engage each other and themselves in this new common cause. For global warming people switch to bikes or experiment with bio-fuels. And for other such reasons, people practice safe sex or vegetarianism. What can be done in the present or near-future that involves ordinary citizens?

First: what reason unites them? (buffer the city against water turmoil, merge with nature through bio/energy reuse, lower the water levels using conservation)

Second: what activities are fun, gratifying, worthwhile, or viscerally measurable?

Creating ways for citizens to grapple with this environmental change prepares them psychologically for this foreign environmental disruption and also mobilizes consensus to direct resources to this upcoming need.

How will we, all of us, at any time, engage with this new threat? What is it exactly that threatens us? And what are our means to address it? What are the immutable facts that we must face?

This exhibit was a great introduction to an unfamiliar concern. Thank you.

There is much to discuss!

Posted by Tegan

The processes and technology for all plans are viable but how well would they work together. Walking around I noticed that with the varied coastline that one plane could not protect or serve the full NYC/ New Jersey bay area. Perhaps with some refinement all five plans can be put into effect for the advancement of the Bay area. Other than that concern all five plans are well though out and show remarkable creativity and insperation for saving NYC. Any and all of these proposed ideas would certanly be better that the current process of creating “hard” dams, and leaves.

When you give architects a problem, they give you buildings. Instead on focusing on what we can do to stop global warming, the exhibition proposes more buildings. We won’t have to deal with all this if we start living in sustainable way. We simply cannot let the sea rise 2′. The exhibition is impressive but I wonder what good will come out of this.

Superb exhibition – stimulating and provocative. Very useful/important in presenting the potential of architectural approaches in considering the very significant global/infrastructural pressures of rising sea levels – what the role of architecture is/can become even more strongly. Exhibition really accessibly presented (especially to a first time visitor to New York…from Ireland). Amazing models and drawings – very tactile even without touching! Great work! May more of these kinds of thinking projects continue to be encouraged, and also to be exhibited.

Posted by marianna

this is a fascinating exhibit that probably required significant funding. hopefully, this will inspire funding to be redirected into making aspects of these projects a reality. there isn’t much time!

i found the oyster-tecture exhibit to have the least impact. i was fascinated by the rethinking of the relationship of land and water in a number of the exhibits. also, the exhibits that took into account more global issues such as the changing transportation routes as well as the exhibits that could be applicable on a larger scale to be the most fascinating.

Posted by justine

All of these solutions are creative, detailed, and frankly, pretty far above my head. I’d be curious to know more about each of them. In particular, the “oyster-tecture” exhibit seemed like a great way to reclaim coastline, provide the city with a new park experience, and harness energy in environmentally-friendly ways. However, it seemed lacking a bit in information on the effect the oyster structure would have on withstanding rising ocean levels and the potential for increased storm surges.

This is a very expensive museum, and a bit empty considering how much I paid. Dont understand the flood stuff everyone is talking about above, and think you might have put nicer pictures in the museum. The Tate in London is much more exciting and has a great collection of Rothko. There was a very rude lady letting us into the building today. We are like sheep, being herded around and we paid for the experience. What a load of schmucks we, the public are!!!!

This exhibition was executed beautifully. While I’d expect to see this in a science museum more than the MoMA, it immediately engrossed me and seems to be a very logical plan for the sustainable ‘renovation’, per se, of New York City.

Really great exhibit! The city should definitely try to use these proposed projects to their advantage and involve urban youth/disadvantaged populations. Involve as many population demographics and there will be greater results. Also, including more public transportation into the system (as subways may experience severe problems from flooding- they already have huge problems with water entering the systems).

Kate Orff’s Oyster-Tecture project is a visionary imagining of the Gowanus.

This is an outstandingly gutless and benign exhibition.

It provides greenwash to a populace about a global warming future.

The exhibition says to me- “won’t New York be cool and exciting with another two feet of water, we can design and engineer all these amazing things and New York will be greener and more beautiful than ever.”

It provides no insight into the costs and suffering catastrophic climate change will bring; No mention of the spread of diseases, the increased number of deaths from heat stroke, no mentions of the impacts of reduced water supply and increasing droughts.

Don’t you remember the hundreds that died in the heatwave in Chicago in the nineties? The morgues were overflowing. That is the future of life in a city under global warming, not this greened-up fantasy.

It is a white bread, plain vanilla and perhaps rose-colored view of the future.

It might, just might be likely that NYC can re-engineer itself to buffer itself from the worst effects of global warming. But just think about the several hundred million in India and Bangladesh that live within a few feet of sea level or the numerous Pacific Island Nations that will simply cease to exist.

I though modern art was a useful tool to provide a critique on how we live. If this is modern art it is a sad reflection on who we are today.

i think some of these solutions are truly practical and novel, as well as functional and desperately needed, but i shudder to think about what will happen as/when it’s time to start taking action, because as we’ve seen with the redeveloping at ground zero, big money and politics often leave the best laid plans of mice and men squandered as we wonder what might have been if we’d acted sooner. nevertheless, great job to all the teams involved, and i wish you all the best of luck and speedy action.

What will be the lasting effect of the project on the in and out flow of the tide in the Hudson? I was under the impression that increasing landfill speeds the tide and is destroying the seafloor below the river. Regardless, good luck with your efforts.

Very exciting and wonderful exhibition on the future of this beautiful town.

this has blown me away. stunning. i don’t understand a single thing in here or how it qualifies as pieces of art but it is absolutely amazing that so many people turn up and gawp at it. if 500 people voted on the greatest pieces of art would any of them appear in this gallery? no.

The first step in creating solutions is acknowledging that a problem exists. I admire the creativity of the various teams. I hope that the larger effect of their work is that citizens develop a wider awareness and concern about the challenges that sea level rise poses to the City.

Instead of working around a disaster, how about preventing it?
Sort out a decent program to stop abuse of resource wasting behavior (huge cars, A/C’s constantly on at very cold settings, energy efficient appliances, etc) and keep Manhatan (and the rest of the world) as it is. If you need help, take advice from the rest of the planet.
MoMA is always nice to visit though…

Cool very nice and informative too.

I am happy to see people taking an interest in the future of our seas and oceans. Drastic steps need to be taken to prevent the destruction of some of the places and things we hold dearest. Keep up the good work.

Found a link to this exhibit on a friend’s Facebook post, and am disappointed that the presentations aren’t online. I realize that the exhibit is the MOMA’s intellectual property, but this is the first (that I’ve seen) large-scale media piece that treats rising water as an inevitability, and gets people to think about actually preparing for it. It helps precipitate an important mental shift, and it would be great if more people had access to these ideas. What of those from other countries that won’t be able to make it to the museum and see it for themselves? Please consider posting the presentations.

Wonderfully designed project. It’s really freakin’ scary, but the architects have done a great job presenting solutions and practical plans. Very creative.

Excellent to see artists engaged in telling the story.
The issue is not just sea rise, but what will be left living in the sea.
Someone needs to tell the bloke doing the oystertechture that the anticipated acidification of the sea will mean that many species, like oysters, will not be able to make their shells. Current anticipated death (on conservative carbon pollution trajectories) of significant sea species is 2100. Hope you like jellyfish!
Agree with post above on sharing this show – it is important.

Looks very impressive. Are there any Dutch companies involved, they have a lot of knowledge about water management.

It’s real ? NYC will be under water in 90 years ?
If so – we must act now … this exhibition is asset …

I was deeply offended by the oyster tecture concept as a jew. as you well know, oysters are not kosher! what place will we (the jewish people) have in such an environment?

Posted by Guy

I’m ex United Nations development. Global action could stop and even reverse most sea level rise, and these ideas would be nice but redundant. Eg massive carbon capture machines like Columbia University’s Docherty Earth Observatory is working on could substantially cool the earth’s climate. And space elevators could pump excess seawater out into space. World growth could be substantially speeded up by 2X to 3X to pay for this if national resources are forced into the high value potential components of all economies instead of most resources going into value shedding components which is bankrupting all advanced economies. No economy in the world so far is using value mapping and targeting or the associated huge efforts for soft system change. Clinton, Bush and Obama sadly all have it wrong.

why is urban design/planning/architecture so uniformly bad? this exhibition does well to show us how little these entries have actually considered about the problem at hand. rather than giving well thought out solutions to potentially real problems we’re treated to glossy images constructed more for the sake of the image than communicating an idea or solution. when will what you say matter as much as how you say it?

Posted by TheCritic

Are we really all so eager for the chance to produce innovative or politically relevant work that we’re willing to stoop to this? Could someone–one of you, please, if you can–tell me what separates the work included in this exhibition from propaganda in the interest of those who are paying for it?

The optimist in me eagerly awaits your response.

this is a terrible museum.

The solution is not “aqueous city.” That is absurd. The solution is STOP EMITTING GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS.

I am sickened by this exhibit because it is based on the premise that destroying the planet and thus severely harming millions of people is okay.

The consequences of harming the planet are severe, severe, severe. This discussion about an “aqueous city” should not even be on the table. All of these “architects” and “designers” should be putting their effort into figuring out how to STOP climate change, instead of accepting it and trying to design your way out of it. It is WRONG to accept the fact that destroying the planet is okay.

Do you honestly think that present day society, economy and industry will exist once the polar ice caps have melted? “Once the polar ice caps have melted, new shipping lanes = new economy.” That is just one example of how out-of-touch and useless all of these ideas are. This exhibit is embarrassing, please take it down.

Very impressive exhibition. Ambitious ideas to hold back the sea.
I wonder why Venice can’t do it but the engineers for NYC think they can. Too much confusing information in general. Sometimes too much information gets in the way.

Posted by Nathalie

A very important presentation indeed. As a recent environmental science graduate, I was pleased by the attention and level of detail this exhibition showed. I would be very interested in seeing what impact this exhibition has on policymakers. Great work! I hope MoMA will continue to bring us similar exhibitions in the spirit of public service.

in these moments we need projects like the one of matthew baird architects, to change our cities and have a new better way of life and thinking at the same time in the nature and city.
KEEP ADD and REUSE!!!!
Very good job thanks!!!
