ARCHITECTURE URBAN DESIGN HOME
West Side Waterfront Redevelopment | New York, NY
In 1987 the Municipal Art Society sponsored an urban design competition to inspire redevelopment of 4.5 miles of derelict industrial tracts along the Hudson River on Manhattan’s West Side. Aaron Parker’s master plan won first place from among more than 1100 international entries. Since 1998, dozens of the concepts proposed by the plan have been built. New York Newsday identified this project as the seed that grew into New York’s bid to host the 2012 Olympics. The American Institute of Architects awarded the project its Citation for Excellence in Urban Design in 1990.
