Ozone Park Station, Queens, New York

A.Y. 2013/2014

Presented by The Emerging New York Architects (ENYA) committee of the AIA New York Chapter, this sixth biennial competition seeks to supplement the ongoing feasibility study for the railway’s transformation by proposing ways the future park can be activated in addition to recreation and leisure. With emphasis on the park’s access points the competition brief provides an opportunity to speculate about programming and design to extend street activity onto the railway. 

Through slide lectures, presentation of case studies, exercises, and readings of papers and book excerpts, discussion on different topics, explaining how to deal with the design of city portions, the project was designed around a series of steps: instances, knowledge, summary, options, dialogues, master plan, communication, details, implementation.
