Atlantic Yards, Part 1
Ecotecture analyzes Atlantic Yards based on the project's sustainability — the controversial megaproject comes across looking pretty green:
Atlantic Yards relies heavily on its relationship to transportation hubs, as well as providing on-site commercial amenities.
Atlantic Yards is also intended to connect neighborhoods by transforming the current barrier of rail yards into a connective fabric of parks, residences and commerce.
Architect Frank Gehry has developed Atlantic Yards 16 high-rise residential and mixed-use towers, arranged in a public park.
Landscape architect Laurie Olin has designed the open space that connects the multiple towers. The space is primarily public and encourages a wide variety of activities.
