DESCRIPTION

Entry into the Emerging New York Architects' 2014 design competition, calling for proposals to create a linear park in the defunct Queensway. The proposal, Cultivating Community Connections, aims to provide educational and economic opportunities for residents of Central Queens through emphasis on urban agriculture, active design, physical access, multi-modal transportation, water, renewable energy, and waste management systems. Strategies to improve these systems are incorporated into a series of agricultural interventions, culminating at the new Ozone Park Station Sustainable Living Institute, a learn + work co-operative that cultivates existing assets to produce community improvements. Project Team: Leonel Lima Ponce, Zella Pirello, Elizabeth Bowler, Graham Cavanagh, Klio Mandalou, Mayank Teotia, Eric Olsen

Central Queens is home to the most diverse demographic makeup in all of New York City and perhaps the world. The decommissioned LIRR infrastructure serves as a dynamic medium for social interaction, food production, environmental remediation, education and local economic development initiatives. Our recommendation emphasizes urban agriculture, active design, physical access, multi-modal transportation, wa-ter, renewable energy, and waste management systems. Community participation via outreach will bring these interventions to life.

For the Ozone Park Station, we propose the Sustainable Living Institute, which is a learn+work cooperative that includes a community kitchen with cooking classes, sustainable technology classes and flexible space for health and fitness activities. Local schools and organizations can integrate educational and workforce development into their curricula in tandem with the evolving food and transportation facilities.
