TUNNEL OF LIGHT
From Parsons School students Sharon Chen, Yujun Jiang, Qingyi Li and Sarah Lee, this sunlit design features a semi-enclosed glass waterfront walkway, a colorful raised central pavilion, dedicated space for food trucks, a hedge maze, and smooth seating pebbles that will warm in the sun and cool in shadow, sprinkled throughout plentiful open green space.
URBAN OASIS
From Parsons School students Nora Zhang, Zhou Xia and Yichan Wang, this gentle and intimate design features a beautiful central fountain and adjacent water elements that will be accessible for kids, similar to the Washington Square Park fountain, and curving, tiered terrace steps leading to a waterfront boardwalk.
FOREST AMPHITHEATER
From Parsons School students Zisiga Mukulu, Whitt Sellers, Nina Wang, and Shuhao Liu, this innovative design combines a water-facing community amphitheater for community music and theater performances, Zaha Hadid inspired "floating diamond" steel sculptural elements, and raised forest pods in an iconic neighborhood park.
