Infrastructure challenges are inspiring New York architects to produce some of the city’s most exciting projects.
Over, Under, Around, and Through, an article by Bonnie A. Harken in the AIA’s Oculus,
describes several projects that more than rise to the challenge including Nautilus’ plan
for the West Harlem Waterfront that provides public access across a complex terrain of highways,
railroad tracks, and steep slopes.
Sustainable Planning and Design means many different things to different people.
Bonnie A. Harken recently moderated a panel on what it means to be sustainable
at the 25th Annual International Waterfront Conference.
Speakers discussed large-scale urban waterfronts from the 32-mile master plan
for the Los Angeles River to Detroit’s watershed and the award-winning "Floating Gardens" on Yongning River in China.
