What if there was a park in the Armory that could weave the gap between parts of the neighborhoods, enhance the health of the community, support local businesses, and also preserve the feeling of bigness? A vibrant oasis of landscaped hills connect to a water valley where kids can play, therapy gardens for elders tie in between informal amphitheaters for theatrical performances, and a subway station plugs into the adjacent street station. Imagine taking your evening walk through a contained forest atmosphere, dining at your favorite local business while listening to upcoming artists, sitting atop the landscape volumes to finish a book with panoramic views, or grabbing a drink and watching the local basketball game with your friends.
Whether you are making your evening pit stop at the local market or just here to enjoy the feeling of a park indoors, transparent roof panels allow natural light to enter and create an outdoor ambiance within the armory. You can catch a breath of fresh air even when you’re indoors, with a park inside the armory!
