Maintain Site-BasedStormwater Detention Systems

Issue:Site-based stormwater diversion anddetention systems must be properly maintainedto be a reliable component of the citys storm-water infrastructure.

Recommendation:Establish maintenance standards for site-basedstormwater systems, and require property owners toverify compliance.

Encourage InnovativeStormwater Practices

Issue:Modern stormwater control systems incorporateboth civil engineering strategies, such asunderground detention tanks, and landscape-based strategies, such as green roofs and naturallandscaping. New York Citys regulations, however,do not properly account for the impact oflandscape-based strategies.

Recommendation:Revise stormwater regulations to account forlandscape-based strategies.

But what about...

Embodied energy?

Product lifecycle?

Materiality?

Construction sequence?

What about all the aspects of the element that dealwith time and not just space?

While the RainRoof started to address some metricsof real application (structural and water weight), itfocused on adaptability of the element to a wide range

of contexts without considering well enough how theelement would actually be used in those contexts.

ShadeStructuredraws on experience gainedfrom the RainRoof to producea more lightweight, inexpensivecanopy structure that is limitedby parameters ofconstructability.

ShadeStructure: Design Development

All pieces of the new element use standard dimensionallumber or standard plywood sheets.

The pieces lock togetherwith circular inserts.Optionally, fabric can bestretched across the topfor additional shading, or todirect water into tubes thatrun through the center ofthe assembled fins.

ShadeStructure: Components

Fins + Louvers

The fins are cut from one 4x8 plywood sheet, whilethe louvers use standard dimensional lumber. Thesizes and lengths of the louvers can be changed, as

can certain aspects of the fins.

The entire assembly is easy to manufacture, assem-ble, and dis-assemble; creates shade; and contributesto an interesting outdoor environment.

Assemblies of fins plus louvers make up the compo-nents that are then arrayed on varying grid patterns toachieve a complete shading system.

Fin: adjusts inwidth, length, anddegree of curvature

Rotation occurswithin the UDF - 5 dif-ferent UDFs are used

Louvers: adjust in thick-ness, angle, and length;

can be turned on and off

The goal is to deploy the grouped fin assemblies ingrids that adapt to the number of fins chosen - differentpatterns are required for the different assemblies.
