reBalancing the Bronx

reBalancing the Bronx

reBalancing the Bronx, Bronx, New York

It’s the Bronx…past…present…future. Our entry sought to close the loops of history, habitat, food and energy by reintroducing the Borough to its history but with the regenerative strategies to meet the needs and values of today and tomorrow. The entry reintroduced the forest habitats of days gone on the streets, in the parks and parking lots, on the rooftops and against building walls. Healthy food, clean water, fresh air, passive energy and social connectivity were at the heart of our solutions to the international design competition Intersections: The Grand Concourse beyond 100. We received honorable mention and were exhibited at Columbia University.
