Atlantic Yards

This alternative proposal for Atlantic Yards embraces the developer’s program as a challenge to offer a new model for urban development at this scale – one that is programmatically, infrastructurally, and contextually flexible to the forces that define its long-standing value. Value is defined by both its relevance in the community as well as its resulting (developer) profitability.  Maximum flexibility is achieved through a complete separation between inhabitable volume and infrastructure. As such, each is allowed to operate at full potential.

Volumes move freely across the site and plug into its infrastructural wrapper at core locations. Various re-use scenarios and contextual relationships can be optimized while also offering new typologies and scales of open space.
