We focus on problems that are visible to the human eye, but turn a blind eye to what lies beneath our feet. Exploited for metal extraction, being an anchorage for building civilizations and used as a dump for contaminants, land has been a laboratory for numerous experiments. We build on soil as well as with it and in it. So how did a significant carbon sink, the largest water soak on the planet and the basis of all life become so underappreciated?Land, an entity that takes on fundamental meaning within various non-human contexts, is mostly disregarded outside of the anthropocentric categories of convenience. The current estimate for the number of species on earth ranges between 5.3 million and 1 trillion and yet anthropogenic activity casts the very identity of the entity into doubt.Land alteration and exploitation in Red Hook has given rise to complex problems, including chemical contamination, rise in water levels, depletion of groundwater resources and loss of marshland habitat. These challenges demand action and, maybe more than ever, imagination. Therefore, rethinking human and non-human collaboration for land use is of paramount importance. Taking cues from the historical presence of marshlands in the Red Hook peninsula, the process of wetland regeneration explores phytoremediation as a strategy to revive the contaminated grounds while allowing exponential growth of previously extinct wetland species. Concurrently, the wetlands serve as buffer zones to control flooding in the area.This research explores the land composite of edge conditions and water-filled landscapes, exploring the fundamental importance that land plays in this equation. The research dives deep into understanding the interdependencies of different morphological layers right from the bedrock underneath to the built above and the various systems governing them. The inevitable flooding of the coastal area is seen as an opportunity by inviting water into the site via wetland canals. The research is conceptualized as a hierarchical geomorphic framework that addresses the flood-level changes that occur at different spatial and temporal scales. This system is flexible as a terraqueous landform that can be adapted to different stages of flooding and coastal line changes hence re-imagining the future of Red Hook grounds in the (post-) Anthropocene epoch.
