Field Sessions: Hunter’s Point South Waterfront Park with Thomas Balsley, Marion Weiss, and Annette Wilkus
All events will be subject to local guidelines on gatherings, including social distancing, wearing face coverings, and stay-at-home orders. Attendance is limited not only to maximize the safety of those attending but to promote an intimate learning experience. If this event needs to be postponed to comply with local ordinances, registrants will be notified directly.
A collaboration among SWA/Balsley and WEISS/MANFREDI, with ARUP as the prime consultant and infrastructure designer, Hunter's Point South in Queens, is described "as an international model of urban ecology and a world laboratory for innovative sustainable thinking. The site is waterfront and city, gateway and sanctuary, blank slate and pentimento. These readings suggest an approach to the landscape that enhances what is unique about the site, while framing a new multi-layered identity as a recreational and cultural destination. The design incorporates active and passive recreation and a broad array of sustainable initiatives."
This Field Session is hosted in conjunction with the Courageous By Design Symposium and will be led by Thomas Balsley, Marion Weiss, and Annette Wilkus. Click here for the full tour schedule.
1.5 LA CES™ professional development hours will be available to attendees.
