New York Trilogy III: Redesign of the Manhattan Bridge Teamate: Shiyue Liu
Our chosen site, located at the intersection of Division Street and Forsyth Street, features two distinct spatial scenarios under the Manhattan Bridge. On the left, there is a condensed commercial complex representing everyday life, while on the right, the bridge’s structural support serves as a backdrop for bustling street life and stalls. These vibrant stalls and stores demonstrate the potential for community prosperity in the underutilized space. Surrounding the Greek colonnade are various religious institutions, highlighting the need for diverse spiritual spaces.
Our project transforms the bridge footings into a rocky monastery that contrasts with the above-ground architecture. The underground space creates a sense of monumentality and sublime terror, offering relief from routine and stress. The journey up the mountain represents the pursuit of the sublime and holiness through the integration of nature, architecture, and Chinatown aesthetics.
The spaces beneath are born under the logic of earth excavation machines. Both taking curves drilling auger machine while the right space with a much larger scale involves a strip minning layer until one reaches the final
curves as the principle, the left spaces/ cells with a smaller scale are incorporated with earth minning machine. The monastery finds its way from the commercial footing, sinking layer by final meditation chamber.

Jane Jacobs’s “eyes on the street” concept fosters community vigilance by naturally attracting people’s interest and involvement in the vibrant activities of a healthy street. This form of organic social surveillance eliminates the need for hardware and cameras, providing an efficient approach to building community safety.
To prevent public housing from becoming centers of crime, a holistic perspective on neighborhood safety becomes crucial. Although highrise public housing has been criticized, the emergence of low-rise alternatives has proven beneficial. Lower-level structures offer advantages such as enhanced visibility, natural light, ventilation, and community participation. Consequently, high-rise public housing can provide a level of safety and social interaction similar to bustling streets, where constant interaction and mutual observation occur.
