(2023) ASBM01 20181Department of Architecture and Built Environment
- Abstract
- This thesis project is aimed to answer the questions: What could be done to design areas for making them flood resilient? How can sustainable urban design be adapted to provide flood resilience while transforming an area into a more livable space? Starting with these questions, the past of Hamburg and existing situation have been analyzed, a research has been done about the floods, climate change and how other cities develop their strategies to minimize effects of these issues. With a holistic way, information about the site in Hamburg has been gathered to find out the current problems like connection issues, lack of public realm, non-attractive river front and outdated flood defenses. As an input of all this information, strategies have... (More)

With a holistic way, information about the site in Hamburg has been gathered to find out the current problems like connection issues, lack of public realm, non-attractive river front and outdated flood defenses. As an input of all this information, strategies have been made to give a better living space for residents of the site and the newcomers from around the neighborhood, a more resilient area against the floods, better connections to the center, within the area and to the riverside. Activating the areas by adding mixed-use buildings and plazas surrounded, connecting by green corridors and bike lanes were the end results. (Less)
