THESIS

​

Transilient, is a design based on resilient use for existing, abandoned architecture and infrastructure as new public space that references the history of New York’s transit technology. A landmark site was created at the corner of Broadway and 96th Street in New York city that connects to one of the first substations that powered the subway. As such,  the design focuses on reactivating the pedestrian presence along this stretch of Broadway, where currently the streetscape mimics that of an expressway. The design solution incorporates a plaza on the first level that resolves the steep grade change to the newly adapted substation 14, that serves as a flexible space for art, events, and performances. Through analysis of the site circulation regarding to transit, and research of the West Side neighborhood context and historic edges, a site design for pedestrians, transit access and the neighborhood as a whole was achieved.
