Yerba Buena Cove: Reimagining Protective Infrastructure along San Francisco's Embarcadero Waterfront
Drawing upon the conclusions of the Port of San Francisco’s Multi-Hazard Risk Assessment and the Resilient By Design Bay Area Challenge, this proposed waterfront park extension protects one of the most flood- prone, seismically vulnerable sections of the Embarcadero Seawall through regenerative “ecological infrastructure” and attracts the public to the intertidal edge. This project aims to turn climate change adaptation strategies into a landmark park destination that offers a moment of reflection and reveals “how close to the sea we actually are.”
