Hunter's Point South is a massive urban project that must respond to a wide variety of problems such as social, economical, and ecological conditions. The proposed scheme is based from a conceptual transformative system that allows for a series of expansions and compressions. This approach gives us the ability to systematically program social and ecological variations and exemplify the interaction between "ground" and "building". A primary elevated swath divides the master scheme to support different public and private agendas. Edges matter. The Newtown Creek edge is softened by passive landscapes and slow pedestrian and bike traffic while the heavy water currents of East River make for a hard edge tolerating more active landscapes.
