New York’s Eco-square in Air
New York’s Eco-square in Air is a bridge which connects buildings around the central park.
Central Park is an urban park in Manhattan, New York City. The Park is the most visited urban park in the United States, with 40 million visitors in a year, and one of the most filmed locations in the world. However, as a consequence of its location, only a small percentage of new yorkers are able to benefit from this vast public garden each day. In an attempt to make this green space available to more people, the proposed design connects the city buildings. In turn, this creates new city space along the exposed ecosystem. However, the ambition is to reverse the traditional relationship between landscape and architecture, in a way that every occupiable space has direct connection to the nature and the city.
