NUOVO CITY APARTMENTS
HARLEM, NEW YORK
In this project we were asked to design a re station that not only allowed for proper use, but also connected to the community of Harlem through the site plan. In doing so we created an interactive walking path for the community that spanned from street to street. It introduced a community cafe, a stage for community gatherings/performances with tiered sitting and a rocking climbing wall for the remen to interact with the community.

BRYANT PARK TIME CAPSULE
NY, NEW YORK
Our project attempts to create a historical ecological addition to Bryant Park that provides an interactive walk way through time itself told through changing sediments of soil. As descending you will be met by glass that will not only provide view of the changing soil, but also provide key points in New York’s history frosted on the glass to show how Bryant Park came to be. At the end of the walk, you will be met in the “Time Capsule” itself and will be able to write a memory of your own, as well as take someone’s memory as a momento.
