Ecologies of Transition
2017-2023
Pioneer Works
The Ecologies of Transition was a series of roundtable discussions gathering design professionals and grassroots community groups to discuss methods for applying long-term ecological thinking to community-based design and enhancing daily life for residents in the shared watershed between Gowanus, Red Hook and Governors Island. Grounded in sharing and reflecting, these sessions held space for sharing methods for noticing, listening and storytelling about systems that shape urban ecology across disciplines and neighborhood lines. We explored small-scale strategies and tools for measuring carbon in soil, how to turn neighborhood organic waste into compost, and mapped our connected waterway and resource flow to manage and plan for coastal and daylight flooding events.
