Editorial: ‘Water needs an architectural embrace’

Read The Architecture Review's article on *Blue Dunes*by WXY's Claire Weisz and the Harvard Graduate School of Design's Jesse Keenan. The Architecture Review writes, "Weisz and her multi-disciplinary practice WXY have for many years been rethinking design approaches to infrastructure, which at worst can be a case of ‘do the engineering and paste on some design afterwards’. The practice doesn’t just investigate theoretical propositions, however. Its latest design project is of heroic scale – the reconstruction of the eight-mile long Rockaway Boardwalk in Queens, New York, which was wrecked by Hurricane Sandy. Federal aid totalling more than $140 million was made available to restore Rockaway Beach, and the second phase of that programme, now complete, comprises an improved and enhanced boardwalk."
