Introducing “On the Boards”
Feb 5, 2009 9:17 pm
We thought folks might be interested to see what West 8 and the design team has “on the boards,” so we’re introducing a series of weekly posts that will describe in words and pictures some of the themes of the evolving Park Master Plan. Each week, someone from the West 8 team or GIPEC will introduce an element or underlying concept that the designers are developing for the Park Master Plan: habitats, hills, play, etc. As many of you know, West 8 and a team of crack designers and engineers have been working to create a Park Master Plan for Governors Island that will transform the Island’s public open spaces. The Island’s Historic District is becoming a favorite summer day escape, but the Park Master Plan is the first step in turning the entire Island into a extraordinary destination that generations of New Yorkers and visitors will want to visit again and again. We are releasing the final version of the Park Master Plan at the beginning of this summer. In the meantime, we hope you’ll continue to let us know what you think.
