Concept
The approach to the competition emerged from our belief that the design
of the river’s edges of Manhattan could and should emerge from an
appropriate transformation of the unique qualities of its urban grid.
The grid of Manhattan seldom extends to the edges of the island with the
resulting conditions (widely acknowledged by New Yorkers) that a
defacto waterfront city is experienced as landlocked.
The recent efforts in certain parts of the city to mitigate the
isolating conditions of Robert Moses-era roadways has been widely
embraced. The “gap” of the competition is understood as the interruption
of the public waterfront corridor along the river; however shouldn’t
the “gap” be more broadly perceived as that between the city streets and
the waterfront?
