Close the Gap

d3 & Transportation Alternatives Competition, 2011

First Prize, Team Member (Archetal)

The goal of this d3 and Transportation Alternatives competition was to provide design solutions for the missing section of the New York City East River Greenway between East 38th and East 60th Streets along the East River. By utilizing the unique elements of the existing neighborhoods through which the proposed greenway would pass, the design is seamlessly integrated into the city. With numerous entry points the greenway restores the link between the city and the river. The 25ft right of way, a majority of which is made up of bridges and cantilevers, accommodates a variety of transportation alternatives.
