My mode of transportation
From street level
It was really crowded. Best weather up here all winter...
Moveable lounge chairs on rails
The typical bench used throughout the site
The concept for the design was to embrace the way vegetation overtook the site after it had been abandoned
Some of the existing rails were used in the final design
Sometimes paved into the concrete
For the most part, the views didn't offer much, but a few were good
The work continues... I believe this is the final phase of construction
I like it. I bet it looks great once all the vegetation comes back too, we're still waiting on the buds of spring over here....
ReplyDeletepopular with the locals as in the 10,000,000 that live there. very cool though. looks like people have to fight for their piece of park.
ReplyDeleteAlex is that the same firm that designed the pentagon memorial? If I'm not mistaken the benches look similar between the two.
ReplyDeletepat, i'm not sure. field operations designed downsview park in toronto, fresh kills in new york, but not sure about the pentagon memorial
ReplyDeletei dont think field operations did the pentagon memorial, but the benches do look very similar....james corner wouldnt copy someone....would he? maybe the pentagon copied him
