+With Alex Glick
The Red Hook Way is a development plan for the Brooklyn Marine Terminal that creates community focused development, building on the incredible fabric of local organizations that have helped sustain and support the community.
Using multiple residential developments and the implementation of a series of pavilions to kickstart the project, both the front and back sides of Red Hook are brought together.
The Analytical Framework highlights the distinct movement network within Red Hook, which shapes and carves out zones for development in our master plan.
The Red Hook Way recognizes that development is necessary to make the needed infrastructure improvements in the neighborhood. However, the project asserts that the existing neighborhood must take priority in all development because a community as beautiful and connected as Red Hook's is a wonderful rarity.
The two main residential developments, along with a proposed renovated streetscape.
In the multi-phase master plan, there are considerations for such developments:
Various forms of housing
Expansions space for community hubs
Congregation & retail spaces
Intertwined parks & pathways
Redirected flood-wall & pedestrian movement
Encouraging interaction between all sides of Red Hook is essential to the success of any proposed development.
As follows: Structure, Supports, Solid (Floor), Translucent, Stairs, & Artwork
A pseudo-temporary system of pavilion structures enables a whole new set of uses for the streetscapes and parks. Underutilized hard-scapes can be turned into places for congregation and community leadershipt
