Waterfront ecological INITIATIVE

Project Type: Competition Entry

Location: New York City, NY

Partners: Studio Lily Kwong, Agritecture, St. Nick’s Alliance

Status: Pending

Year: 2020

Program: Our initiative is an opportunity for engagement with the outdoors that is about creating a meaningful relationship with the land. Our proposal provides a flexible framework for environmental education and engagement.

By introducing indigenous plants that thrive with natural management techniques and encourage wildlife biodiversity we are putting a spotlight on ecology and inviting the public to engage in a relationship with its local natural environment.

Fusing public recreation with urban ecological education, our project creates a truly unique experience with nature in the heart of the city. The project site in proximity to nearby parks and year round commerce provides opportunity for partnerships with community organizations and collaborations across arts, culture and technology.
