This report measures the state of parks in Brooklyn. There are many different kinds of parks — active, passive, and pocket — and this report focuses on active parks that have a mix of amenities and uses. It is important for Brooklynites to have a pleasant park in their neighborhood to enjoy open space, meet their neighbors, play, and relax. While park equity is integral to creating One Brooklyn — a place where all residents can enjoy outdoor recreation and relaxation — fulfilling the vision of community parks first depends on measuring our current state of parks. This report will be used as a tool to guide my parks capital allocations and recommendations to the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks), as well as to identify recommendations to improve advocacy for parks at the community and grassroots level in order to improve neighborhoods across the borough.

  • COURSE OBJECTIVES Moving Beyond the Scale of a Single Individual, Design 7 Seeks to Address Architectural Issues at an Urban Scale
    URBAN VIEWING | 1 COURSE OBJECTIVES Moving beyond the scale of a single individual, Design 7 seeks to address architectural issues at an urban scale. This project examines a New York City block in the Hell’s Kitchen area just east of the Hudson River. The site, shown in Figure 1a below, exists between 10th and 11th Avenue and between West 53rd and 54th Street. It follows New York City’s rectilinear grid, establishing a block with an area of 1,600 square feet (200 x 800 ft). To the West lies the Hudson River, directly across 11th Avenue is DeWitt Clinton Park, and the Manhattan skyline extends to the North. This project proposes rethinking what it means to inhabit both the immediate site and the larger context of New York as both a viewer and a participant. Through an emphasis on the notion of viewing and juxtaposition of traditional building programs, architecture is able to form and transform experiences and relationships between individuals. Figure 1a. Satellite image of site, highlighted in green Figures 1b, 1c and 1d. Site analyses A major challenge proposed through the project is how one begins to start breaking down the immense scale of the site. Site analyses, like the ones seen in Figures 1b, 1c and 1d, draw important lines from surrounding edifices and landmarks, emphasizing their influences on the site and circulation. Maintaining views to the water and to important surrounding structures reduces the scale of the block as each edge reflects a unique condition. The writings of Jane URBAN VIEWING | 2 Jacobs are considered in the project as her notions of “eyes on the street” and “breaking down the block” increase the permeability and transparency of the site.
