The Brooklyn shore of the East River in New York City has historically been an important node for commerce centered around nautical transportation, however the abandoning of industry has left a fractured built environment behind. However, the area currently is experiencing a transformation into a lively outdoor recreational destination. The Brookyln Bridge Park has made great strides to this end, yet the addition of a main attraction with a variety of uses can bring greater life and vitality to the district. The design study focuses on accomodating a variety of uses both public + private, static + flexible within a dedicated, iconic long-span structure.
