Climatorial Wooden Park

Located in a concrete jungle, Lower Manhattan lacks adequate green infrastructure.

There is minimal green space in the surrounding neighborhood, and nearby schools lack adequate playground areas. More importantly, the climate is changing in the city. We are seeing flooding, heat waves, and severe thunderstorms. Thus the project must increase green space and address environmental concerns. Aware that foliage-covered facades don't automatically equate to sustainable architecture, it has to be a living and built system that slows down, soaks up, and filters the changing climate.
