夏末，纽约长岛上的猎人南海滨公园开业。面向城市开放的公园总规划范围达30亩用地，算得上是纽约至1970年以来最大的滨水改造和住房绿地项目。三面环水的公园开创了城市生态和可持续发展的创新新模式。设计由Thomas Balsley Associates + Weiss Manfredi完成。设计完美的利用了过去的工业遗址和周围壮美的城市与海湾景色建立起一个多层次的娱乐文化地。这里未来还将开发学校和5000个单位的住宅项目。

Opening at the end of the summer, Hunter’s Point South Waterfront Park is phase one of a larger master plan that encompasses the transformation of 30 acres of post- industrial waterfront on the East River in Long Island City and includes the largest affordable housing building project in New York City since the 1970’s. Surrounded by water on three sides, Hunter’s Point South is a new model of urban ecology and a laboratory for innovative sustainable design. The park and open space is a design collaboration between Thomas Balsley Associates and WEISS/MANFREDI with ARUP as the prime consultant and infrastructure designer.

在公园中，基础设施，景观，构筑物，生态走廊被一体化的统筹设计，并能应对纽约东河河水水位的变化和上升泛滥，是名符其实的后工业生态滨水场地和新文化与生态范例。

The site is waterfront and city, gateway and sanctuary, blank slate and pentimento. Design leverages the site’s industrial heritage and spectacular views to establish a resilient, multi-layered recreational and cultural destination. Adjacent to a future school and an emerging residential development of 5,000 permanently affordable units, the park will provide a public front door and new open spaces for recreation that connect to the surrounding communities. The integrated design weaves together infrastructure, landscape, and architecture to transform a post-industrial waterfront site into new ecological corridors that anticipate the inevitable patterns of flooding and rising water levels along the East River, transforming Hunter’s Point South into both a new cultural and ecological paradigm.
