Breuckland is a post-crisis utopia for dense yet ordinary urban living. Not very different from Brooklyn, Breuckland is the alter ego of the contemporary metropolis, offering an uncompromised testing ground as an alternative to standard discourse on urban strategies, the rhetoric of sustainability, and iconographic thinking about the city. No longer vulnerable to threats such as the foreclosure crisis, the rising sea level, and gentrifying real-estate operations, the contemporary city is looking at Breuckland as a playground for design research on newarchitectural strategies.A threefold utopian image of Brooklyn presents an extrapolation of several architectural projects and urban design interventions that touch on a variety of strategies concerning housing, infrastructure, and services. Spaced throughout the borough of Brooklyn, these projects transform the city fabric into Breuckland as a response to the monoculture in urban space making.Breuckland as designed utopia is a tool to transform, derail, reinvent, and crossbreed existing modes of operations and their associated physical forms. No longer proposing one overall solution on a tabula rasa, Breuckland looks at a variety of strategies.
