3. ENVIRONMENTAL & SUSTAINABILITY OBSERVATIONS
"We have forgotten how to
be good guests, how to
walk lightly on the earth
as its other creatures
do."

4. INVENTORY
Trees, bushes, and plants
The re-use of demo buildings
Parks as rest areas
Area for planting under the Brooklyn bridge
Buildings that cause a lot of shade
Storm Water Management
Stones And Gravel

5. ASSETS
Re-use of demo buildings.
Parks are used as a rest stop for the hill.
Solar Panel, the hexagon (C and H bonds) is a benzene ring. Solar panel fused with the benzene
rings will allow the solar cells to generate two electrons for every one photon which is
absorbed from the blue light spectrum.

10. DESIGN STRATEGIES
Take down building to make a park connecting rest area.
Turn construction lot into a green area after construction is complete.
Paint sidewalks to connect green areas.
Improve street conditions and add drains for rain water.

11. CIRCULATION STRATEGIES
• Turn construction lot into a green area after construction is complete.
• Paint sidewalks to connect green areas.

12. CLIMATE STRATEGIES
• Increase sunlight in shaded areas.
• Increase shade in open sunny areas.
• To increase shade add trees in pots where needed.

13. OUR NEXT STEP
• Find map without Manhattan bridge to show street level.
• Try and find new ways to get to waterfront.
• Walk different routes to waterfront to take more pictures.
• Fix circulation slide.
