'The East River Waterfront Esplanade'
by the city of New York itself, and 'Performance Park' by HM White
Architects for a designcompetition.
There is a clear difference in designquality between the two
projects. Whereas the East River project by the government appears to be
much more calculated and has had years and years of preparation and
studies, they don't seem to reach their goals. The project is not as
flexible and diverse as they claim it to be, and the waterfront is not
physically accessible at all. The green on the waterfront is mostly used
as a visual, esthetic quality and not as an active solution to cope
with for example sea level changes, ecosystems, different activities,
... This is where 'Performance Park' does a better job.
