THE DESIGN
RESEARCH & FRAMEWORK
The 116th St Skyway is a design within a greater project, The Harlem Confluence. The aim is to create a flow between adjacent neighborhoods along 116th St. The framework focuses on creating spaces that better serve the community and encourage connection across the neighborhoods. An elevated walkway is designed to add to the existing space with minimal street disruption. The skyway connects various open spaces including rooftop plazas, community gardens, workshops, and event spaces. The goal is to create opportunity for creativity, learning, outdoor fitness, wellness and connectivity.
