Community Outreach Summary Report
concept design community outreach summary report Palisades Garden Walk + Town Square, Santa Monica james corner field operations august 2010 CONTENTS COMMUNITY OUTREACH SUMMARY REPORT executive summary. 4 survey. 5 workshop stations. 13 on-site comment cards. 19 APPENDICES Appendix 1: Survey Results. 21 Appendix 2: Workshop Stations. 93 Appendix 3: Comment Cards. 107 COMMUNITY OUTREACH SUMMARY REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Concept Design Community Outreach for Palisades Garden Walk + Town Square consisted of a quantifiable survey and on-site Open House and Workshop held on July 24, 2010. Feedback has been solicited on a range of topics including park uses, park themes, challenges, opportunities, and the site. Results from 435 surveys and approximately 200 community members who attended the open house are summarized below. Data analysis and comprehensive additional comments can be found in a series of appendices attached to this summary report. Uses A clear majority of both survey respondents and workshop attendees envision Palisades Garden Walk as a place for passive recreation with “Areas for Picnicking, Lounging, Sitting, Reading, Relaxing and Viewing” as the primary use. Survey respondents rank “Pathways for Walking, Running, and Cycling” and “Areas for Cultural Events” as second most desirable uses, while workshop attendees favor “Horticulture and Display Gardens,” “Public Art,” and “Cafes.” For Town Square, both survey respondents and workshop attendees identify “Areas for Organized Civic Events and Activities” as the park’s most important use. The design team will develop alternative design schemes, which all support passive recreation for Palisades Garden Walk and flexible civic event space for Town Square. Various ratios of additional uses will also be explored.

Battery Park - Castle Clinton National Monument Other Names: Fort Clinton, Castle Garden, West Battery, South-West Battery Castle Clinton is a circular sandstone fort now located in Battery Park at the southern tip of Manhattan that stands approximately two blocks west of where Fort Amsterdam stood almost 400 years ago. Construction began in 1808 and was completed in 1811. The fort (originally named West Battery) was built on a small artificial island just off shore and was intended to complement the three-tiered Castle Williams on Governors Island, which was East Battery, to defend New York City from British forces in the tensions that marked the run-up to the War of 1812, but never saw action in that or any war.

Journal of Landscape Architecture, 14(3), 82-87. https://doi.org/10.1080/18626033.2019.1705591 Download date: 10. Oct. 2020 When urban greening becomes an accumulation strategy: Exploring the ecological, social and economic calculus of the High Line Natalie Gulsrud and Henriette Steiner University of Copenhagen, Denmark Abstract The canonical design project the High Line is built on an abandoned elevated freight- rail structure that winds through some of New York City’s largest post-industrial districts. With over 80 million visits since its opening in 2009, the High Line is one of the world’s most visited urban parks. The product of a collaboration spearheaded by landscape architect James Corner, it has become one of the most celebrated symbols of landscape urbanism. Despite its enormous success and widespread acclaim, the High Line has also been criticized for its inattention to issues of equality. Our contribution is to unpack how the neoliberal logic implicit in the High Line effect is delivered as a process of socioecological subtraction that ultimately leads to the accumulation of capital for a select few, and to ask how urban designers might rethink the High Line model to take into account more redistributive principles of justice.

Heritage Adrift: Designing for North Brother Island in the Face of Climate Change Abstract The smaller islands of the archipelago of New York City (NYC) have built heritage that reflects the history of quarantining undesirable and vulnerable populations in institutions such as hospitals, asylums, and prisons. North Brother Island (NBI) in the East River is one such place, home to Riverside Hospital and other institutions from 1885-1963. The NYC archipelago is vulnerable to multiple effects of climate change including sea-level rise, shoreline erosion, increased flooding, and storm surge. In order to confront the dangers that climate change presents to the built heritage on NBI, a hybrid approach of preservation interventions and landscape architecture strategies are needed. Using a values-based preservation approach as the foundation, I developed a projective design to address shoreline erosion, building stabilization, selective deconstruction, and public access to NBI, which is currently managed as a bird sanctuary.

The High Line Tour
The High Line Tour Photo credits: Iwan Baan The transformation of the High Line from an abandoned freight rail structure to an extraordinary public park would not have been possible without the vision of the design team. Join Lisa Switkin, Principal at James Corner Field Operations, the project lead and landscape architects for the High Line, to get a behind-the-scenes look at the park’s unique design. Lisa will talk about how the park came to be, the concept for its transformation, and its design and construction. We will walk the park from Gansevoort to 34th Street, crossing 3 distinct New York neighborhoods – the Meatpacking District, West Chelsea and the new Hudson Yards development at the Rail Yards. Date: Monday, May 23rd, 2016 Time: 10AM Tour duration: 1.5-2 hours. Meeting place: Tour meets at the corner of Gansevoort and Washington, at street level at the base of the High Line stair. This is also right next to the Whitney Museum for reference. Maximum attendees: 15 people, Cost: Free Tour Leader: Lisa Tziona Switkin Principal, James Corner Field Operations Lisa is a principal at James Corner Field Operations, a leading-edge landscape architecture, urban design and public realm practice based in New York City. As the principal-in-charge of many of the practice’s complex public realm projects, Lisa led the design of the High Line in New York, Tongva Park in Santa Monica, and the Race Street Pier in Philadelphia. She is currently overseeing the South Street Seaport, Domino Sugar Waterfront, and Greenpoint Landing in New York; Nicollet Mall in Minneapolis and the Master Plans for the Lincoln Road District and The Underline in Miami.

Understanding Analytic Content in Landscape Architectural Maps
Understanding Analytic Content in Landscape Architectural Maps Andrew Jepson-Sullivan Spring, 2016 Submitted in partial fulfillment for the Master of Landscape Architecture, Department of Landscape Architecture, University of Oregon Understanding Analytic Content in Landscape Architectural Maps Andrew Jepson-Sullivan Spring, 2016 Submitted in partial fulfillment for the Master of Landscape Architecture, Department of Landscape Architecture, University of Oregon Mark Eischeid Master’s Project Committee Chair Chris Enright Master’s Project Committee Member David Hulse Master’s Project Committee Member i ii For Rose and Owen iii iv Abstract Landscape architects are often required to produce graphics that serve both as a presentation of data and as an exploration of design and process. These images are used to not only show what a landscape will look like when constructed, but also to understand how the composite parts of the landscape, both tangible and intangible, interact with each other. There is a lack of understanding about how to best compose these images so that they perform both aspects equally well. This project examines one aspect of this challenge: the presentation of analytic information in landscape architectural images, specifically, in landscape architectural maps. This project proposes a framework for analyzing, categorizing, and contextualizing the basic visual methods that landscape architects use to communicate analytic information in maps. Edward Tufte’s Principles of Analytic Design are used as a basis for this analytic framework, in order to 1) better understand the visual characteristics and techniques that maps use to present analytical information, 2) break down analytic representation techniques into their component parts so that they can potentially be applied to other landscape architectural image typologies, and 3) create a visual language to better discuss the component parts that make up landscape architectural images.
