WEST HARLEM PIERS PARK AND MASTER PLAN NEW YORK NY

The West Harlem Piers Park is a dramatic transformation of space that had been lost to the community for many years. Our design leadership over a nine year period terminated a 30 year struggle by the community to regain their waterfront and renew their connection to the river. A narrow 69,000 sf parking lot has been expanded through creative planning into a 105,526 sf park that re-imagines the threshold between the city and the Hudson in a sustainable and meaningful way. The site, no wider than a tennis court, between 129th and 133rd Streets along the Hudson River had been cut off from the neighborhood by the adjacent traffic and highway above. This point of access to the river, historically a natural cove between adjacent bluffs, and more recently an industrial port, had become a paved and fenced parking lot. The project intent was to create a gathering place on the Hudson to reconnect the residents to the water. Working closely with a strong group of community activists, our design team held a series of public meetings that resulted in a master plan for the adjacent 40 block area. The first phase of the plan was the creation of West Harlem Piers Park which included transforming the adjacent road to promote pedestrian and bicycle access, new community piers, and the total re-envisioning of the parking lot.

PLAYSPACE

The park design is based on the idea of the cove The park form is a result of both the forces from the city as well as the water. Elements of the park are scattered and sorted by size as if left by waves. The piers themselves follow land formation patterns rather than historic pier configurations. The piers provide various water-related activities including fishing, excursion boating, ecological awareness, and general recreation. The plant material creates two ecologies: a woodland with mixed deciduous trees, low understory and perennial ground cover, and the cove which features colorful 300 foot long seaside perennial beds at either end of the park and a sloped lawn for multiple activities. Materials are locally sourced, including reuse of cobbles and granite blocks from the site. The park involved phased construction, to narrow the existing adjacent highway without disrupting traffic flow. Approvals were required from the City Parks, the Design Commission, the State Department of the Environment, and the Army Corps of Engineers. Mitigation for the piers involved the installation of reef balls on the floor of the river to provide for fish habitat.

TIDE POINT BALTIMORE MD

Credited with turning a 15 acre derelict old industrial site into the epicenter of Baltimore’s Digital Harbor, this project is about transformation. Tide Point was the site of one of Procter & Gamble’s main soap producing plants. Now the renovated buildings house high tech companies and institutions. Once, its boardwalk was off-limits to the public--- now the site opens to the water and views beyond. Our role in the project included master planning and coordinating public easement through the site, designing new construction for site amenities, and landscape architecture.

The site plan provides clear vehicular and pedestrian pathways with easements to Baltimore City for the public access to the waterfront. To meet the needs of the historic certification, the campus design merges the tidewater with industrial. Site furniture is created from concrete and industrial remnants. Many industrial site features are integrated into the overall design. The project opened in 2004 and has received numerous awards and has been featured in many publications. It is certified historic by the Department of the Interior.

The landscape of the site creates an environment that draws neighborhood residents to the waterfront and also serves the needs of the office campus—creating flexible event spaces as well as places to meet, eat and rest. In the summer, the fog machine works to cool pedestrians, and hammocks and Adirondack chairs dot the promenade and waterfront plaza.

PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE

“The design team confronted many challenges.... Yet the landscape architect overcame these hurdles and made them into assets. Old concrete walls, tanks, and valves became distinctive site features. A budget bust on a fancy fountain design became an inexpensive 350’ long fogger. Now a symbol of Tide Point’s pluck, the cheaper water feature, using gels on the fogger lights, is purple for the Ravens, orange for the Orials and red white and blue on Fourth of July.” -Bill Struever, Client

THE EDGE PARK BROOKLYN NY

The Williamsburg waterfront has been dominated by industry and its relics for over a century--making it largely off limits to the public. New zoning is changing the public interface with the water’s edge by increasing density and emphasizing waterfront access. The “Edge” park seeks to bring people to the river and link the ecosystem with the fabric of the community. As landscape architect for both the new residential towers and the public waterfront park, we have the challenge of ensuring that the towers act not as symbolic fences blocking public access and views of the East River and Manhattan but as gateways to the river with corridors providing visual connection to the iconic skyline. Our plan unites both sides of the river by using the piers to re-orient views across - especially directed toward the Empire State Building. The design emphasizes the confrontation of forces at the water edge and encourages public use. Here, the city grid and the river’s ecosystem converge, mingle, and clash: the road turns into a pedestrian greenway, a garage is surmounted with a sloping lawn, piers reach gently into the water from deep within the park and stone riverbank contrasts with concrete bulkhead. This blurring of the boundaries between land and water extends the waterfront benefits inland to the community.

PLAYSPACE

The synthesis and separation of private and public space, and architecture and ecology required a complex series of collaborations with community groups, the developer, the city government, and engineers. This former industrial site is now 50% permeable, planted with many native species and part of the LEED Silver rating for the project. The park was a critical part of the approvals for the project, and maintenance agreements were negotiated with the City Parks Department. The new piers underwent extensive reviews by the Corps of Engineers and the Department of Environmental Protection.

TROY RIVERFRONT PARK TROY NY

The Troy Riverfront Park is a 4.4 acre waterfront located in the heart of Troy, New York. Due to problems with overgrown vegetation and grading which obstructs visibility, the park is not well used despite its prime location on the Hudson. This project seeks to open the park to the city, creating new access corridors to catalog the interaction between visitors and the downtown, to improve universal accessibility, and promote a more sustainable, attractive gathering place. The project is in two parts: a master plan and a first phase implementation. A series of public meetings establish a program and enabled the creation of three alternative reuse plans for the park. The plans were developed directly from the community members, stakeholders, and advisory committee feedback. Several existing monuments and memorials need to remain in place, and are worked into the new schemes. From further community input, a final master plan was developed which provides improved connectivity to the city and historic center, a better home for the farmers market and other events, a new maritime and visitors center, added boating facilities, an improved amphitheater, universal access and a more sustainable ecology.

BRYN MAWR SCIENCE BUILDING + PLAYGROUND BALTIMORE MD

COURTYARD AFTER WITH NEW BUILDING BEYOND The new Lower School Science Center at Bryn Mawr School is an addition to a Marcel Breuer campus. The new building springs from a new wall positioned to divide the developed campus from the undeveloped woods. The entrance canopy to the science lab punches through this wall onto a tree house-like deck. The planting behind the wall gives the deck entrance a feeling of being removed from the school -- a “tree house” in the woods from which to observe nature. Rainwater is funneled to the entry garden, where it is released down a rain chain. The spiral ground pattern is based on a logarithmic growth form. A greenhouse, built-in aquarium, garden areas, and bird feeders all contribute to a hands-on learning environment. Collaboration with a local artist resulted in a DNA climbing sculpture in front of the wall as a part of the children’s play area. A butterfly garden lines the pergola approach to the structure. Small Tiles of local animals are embedded in the wall. COURTYARD BEFORE RENOVATION

APPROACH Sustainablity

Since its founding in 1999, W Architecture has promoted and encouraged the use of sustainable practices and principles in its projects. W’s approach to sustainability is holistic and promotes the continuation of strategies developed in planning and design stages throughout the life of a project, including sustainable maintenance regimes to efficiently integrate environmental concerns in the decision making process.

02

028

PLAYSPACE

W has LEED certified staff with knowledge of the current rating system proficient in cataloging the initiatives required for the LEED certification process. The design process must be integrated in itself, and include all the professionals as well as public and private organizations. Sustainability begins with the design of larger environmental systems like wind and solar harvesting, water reuse, and consideration of waste reducing methods.. A sustainable design must integrate human and natural systems alike, so that all function coherently, efficiently and productively to improve the environment for future generations.

Academic Complex, State University of New York, Binghamton Location: Binghamton, New York, USA Area: 130,000 square feet Designed in 1991, completed in 1998 Design Principal: Peter Pran (with Ellerbe Becket) The goal of the client was to design, within tight budgetary constraints, a complex that would fit with the campus while introducing a new spirit and high-quality architecture. The building serves as the new main entrance and “pedestrian gateway” to the campus from the main parking areas. It also houses SUNY Binghamton’s School of Management, School of Nursing, School of Education and Human Development, the Academic Computing Center, Undergraduate Admissions, Research Programs, a shared lecture hall and classrooms. The selected three-story, two-building theme fits in with the predominantly three-story buildings throughout the campus and provides the desired exterior identity to the different departments. It creates a new image for a university that is emerging as a leading liberal arts institution and one of the five top public universities in the nation.

New York Psychiatric Institute Location: New York City, New York, USA Area: 380,000 square feet Designed in 1992, completed in 1998 Design Principal: Peter Pran (with Ellerbe Becket) The New York Psychiatric Institute is located on an exceptionally fine urban site west of Riverside Drive. It is connected to adjacent buildings in the Columbia Presbyterian Medical/Research Complex via bridges across Riverside Drive. The prominent location of the site as one enters the city from the George Washington Bridge allowed for a high-quality design that addressed key urban design and community issues. The curved exterior glass wall to the west reflects the flow of traffic along the West Side Highway; the stepped eastern facades along Riverside Drive define the arrival space and its specific urban spatial character, along with an entry formed by an open plaza that leads to the existing natural landscape south of the building.

Huracle Resort and Tedin Waterpark Location: Cheonan, South Korea Area: 56,716 square meters Designed in 2007, completed in 2010 Design Principal: Young-Kyoon Jeong (with Heerim) The water park and condominium project were planned to enhance the profile of the Cheonan General Leisure and Tourism Complex, as well as attract the public. European-style buildings in pastel tones that one finds arranged side-by-side in Nyhavn, Denmark were reflected in the condominium buildings; aspects of the water park were inspired by the various characters and fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen. The function of the theme park was thus maximized with the ambience of a Mediterranean resort.

and Exhibition Lighting Client LIGO Cost of Project $360,000 PM Lee H. Skolnick Architecture + Design Partnership

LIGO is a revolutionary new kind of telescope designed and built to observe, for the first time, ripples in the fabric of space-time caused by massive cosmic events. Light Projects created a dazzling light sculpture to represent the deep universe and designed simple lighting for exhibit elements. Simulating the effects of gravitational waves on the interferometer, visitors engaged in a form of interaction with the light sculpture that caused disturbances, resulting in out-of-phase fringe patterns which visually transmitted into the light sculpture.

Coney Island Parachute Jump Coney Island, New York Illumination concepts for Brooklyn’s 250-foot, “Eiffel Tower”, the Coney Island Parachute Jump was developed with a consortium of owner/stakeholders including the Borough President and Parks Commissioner. The Coney Island district is undergoing revitalization efforts, and this project is seen as symbol and marker of progress. Light Projects’ concept for tower evokes the rising and falling of the well-remembered parachutes. Directional lighting was developed for viewer vantage points as far as 1-mile, to as close as 100-feet. Lighting systems include color-changing floodlights and custom-designed light emitting diodes (LED). The brightly sparkling LEDs define the canopy of the tower and the tower itself, are programmed to animate. For optimal audience connection, a calendar of

Host to thousands of commuters and travelers on a daily basis, Manhattan’s Port Authority Bus Terminal relies on a complex system of ramps and gates for smooth operations. Four ramps spanning Ninth Avenue connect the terminal with the region, and the country, providing access to the Lincoln Tunnel and other roadways. The pedestrian landscape beneath these ramps was previously shadowy and dismal. In 1995, the Port Authority contacted Manhattan Community Board 4 to ascertain the concerns and desires of the local community. Leni Schwendinger was instrumental in the Community Board’s Task Force, which

compiled design guidelines through a community involvement process. Subsequently Leni Schwendinger Light Projects and architects Pasanella+Klein Stolzman+Berg proposed a luminous and colorful architectural design solution for pedestrian and vehicular street traffic, winning the commission. The design choices – from lighting to color pattern – were selected to emphasize the I-beam engineered structure of the bridges. Metal mesh is illuminated by standard lighting fixtures utilized in innovative ways. Reflective panels produces a carpet of light onto the roadbed creating a luminous room in the midst of this urban node.

HtO Harbourfront Park in Toronto was envisioned as a connection between downtown and Lake Ontario. Sustainable design principles are incorporated at every level and include waterfront accessibility, enhanced connections to the city, forward-thinking ecological design, integrated public art and lighting design. The park design by Claude Cormier and Janet Rosenberg and Associates is a series of experiences, the roadside connection, floating dunes, and finally, by the harbour, a tiered esplanade reaching into the water. During the day the visitor is drawn to the water. At night the focus shifts toward the sparkling backdrop of the city. A moonlight effect is layered with

color accents to create an after-dark living theatre in the dunes. Underwater illumination gives the appearance of a floating park. “We call the design HtO,” note Rosenberg and Cormier, “because it proposes a new chemistry between Toronto and the waterfront - a fundamental change in the relationship.”

Cox Hall Children’s In collaboration with Browning, Day, Mullins & Dierdorf Architects, Indianapolis, Indiana Garden The children’s garden is a small portion of a very large formal garden and is designed to

allow the children to learn about the plants by interacting with the environment. The play area is designed to encourage passive, fantasy play. The kind of creative play area that one comes to and ends up staying all day. No traditional play equipment is used to create this playground. Natural objects and found materials are used to create climbing and sliding opportunities. Willow tunnels, raised earth mounds, stream beds with bridges, pine tree forests, a rabbit hole slide, a well and hand pump station, giant sand box, sun dials and a miniature village are but a few of the elements that the children will have an opportunity to explore amid the vegetation.

West Park Carmel, Indiana – Farm theme playground in partnership with Schmidt Associates

Architects - Site Masters, Inc. designed two unique play structures specifically for this site. The main focal point of the park is a farm silo that sits on top of a play mound. At ground level the silo has a corn climber, a grain chute, a vegetable/kid washer, accessible crawl tunnel to a ground level slide, a crate climber, a secret cubby with hidden baby pigs, a talk tube to the upstairs and a scarecrow manipulative panel. From inside the climber a child may climb up the grain chute to an eight foot high platform. From this platform a child may access two more tunnel slides, a coil climber and a cow bell interactive play panel. A tractor play structure was designed to accommodate the needs of the pre-school age children. The tractor has an accessible stairway up the center of the tractor to a large platform where a child can sit a steer the tractor and shift the gears before going down the double-wide slide. A crawl tunnel connects the back tires and an engine gear panel is accessible from the ground level.

Moffitt Village Archaeology Playground, Hamilton County, Indiana

Phase I - This playground was designed to reflect the lives of the early Indians that inhabited the Park site. The play structure is a lodge pole building on top of a raised earth mound that is covered with rubber surfacing material. The mound is representative of the mound building Indians as is the building. Two concrete slides are cast into the sides of the mound. A skeleton climber, a boulder climber and rope climb are the climbing and sliding elements. A section of the mound is cut away to expose an archaeology dig. Replicas of fossils, bone fragments and pottery shards are cast into the concrete dig. The lodge pole building is fabricated from concrete sculpted to resemble individual logs and tree branches. A rattlesnake sculpture, designed by Site Masters is located at the entrance to the play area.

Moffitt Village Phase II – A giant sand box was created in the shape of Angel Mound. The walls of the

sandbox resemble outcroppings of rock and earth that would be used to construct the mounds. In the center of the mound is a giant boulder that functions as a wheelchair accessible sand table. Water comes out of the crevices in the top of the boulder. A giant mastodon tusk comes out of the sand and into the enclosing wall of the accessible transfer station letting kids know that this is where you begin to dig. Cast into the bottom of the sandbox is a mastodon skeleton waiting to be unearthed. Project constructed by Bolder Play under the direct supervision of Site Masters.

Peace Park Janesville, Wisconsin in collaboration with Interplay Design - This playground was centered

on a riverboat theme. The park site is an old quarry where limestone slabs were cut and shipped via riverboat all over the country. Using traditional manufactured play equipment in combination with community built elements, the community was able to build and install a unique play environment that was consistent with the desired theme. The play elements include a composite play structure that resembles an old paddle-wheeler with smokestacks; a boat ramp and dock, a turtle play sculpture and a large mouth bass play sculpture. The community built the ramps and dock, did all of the ground preparation and pathways, installed the large slabs of limestone that surround the play area and installed the play equipment. Select members of the community assisted in sculpting the turtle and fish. The poured in place rubber surfacing was installed by the park district’s maintenance crew.

Grove Park Grove Park Playground – City of Wichita, Kansas Playground The Grove Park Playground is designed to teach the children about the plants, animals and

people that have lived and continue to live on the prairie. The park is situated along the Chisholm River and the land was formerly occupied by the Wichita Indians. Site Masters proposed creating an environment that begins at the beginning of ecological time when the prairie was covered with the ocean. Fossil imprints representing the ocean floor were created by art students. These images are imprinted onto the concrete sidewalk located at the entrance to the park. This is the beginning of the time stream which carries you from one element to another. The playground has an Indian Lodge sandbox with fossils and mastodon bones to uncover. There is a giant bison play sculpture that the children can climb inside and slide out of. A replica of an old chuck wagon is poised along the Chisholm Trail markers. A farm silo play structure represents the communities’ dependence on farming. The second phase of development is to include native prairie grasses and flowers planted to create small rooms where children can enter to discover the different textures, colors and smells of the various plants. A dry stream bed is to be filled with ceramic images of plants and animals that depend on the rain for life. The ceramic images are dull and colorless until water that pumped by the children spills over it, then the images spring to life just like the prairie after a rain.

Project Description McLaren was retained to provide full site/civil, structural, mechanical and electrical engineering services for design of the new Sea Glass Carousel ride at Battery Park City in lower Manhattan. Not your ordinary Merry-Go-Round, the Carousel’s unique design combines modern multiaxis ride technology with state-of-the-art multimedia projections, music and lighting. Patrons will ride inside glittering and rainbow hued translucent fish, which swim, swoop and swerve through a simulated underwater environment. Key was to design a reliable and safe ride capable of withstanding the rigors of an outdoor, oceanside environment. With a complex but aesthetically satisfying design that protects its electric machinery from the elements, the Carousel is a stroke of technical mastery that celebrates marine life – one of the project’s primary catalysts. McLaren’s Role

The Fish “Ride” (above) and Carousel Model

McLaren provided structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering for the ride system while providing the site/civil work for the building site. The firm produced comprehensive 3D models of the ride and coordinated space, geometry and functional issues with the various disciplines to ensure an integrated design. McLaren also performed motion and velocity studies to ensure the ride was exciting and interesting while technically feasible. The ride system includes individual lift and swivel mechanisms for each fish; onboard turntables that rotate “schools” of the fish in a single grouping; and the main carousel, which rotates the entire system. The machinery design utilizes electric motors (no hydraulics), pinion-driven ring bearings, chain drives friction drives and tapered casters. The center of the ride contains a large slip ring for power and signal distribution. The structure resists cyclic ride stresses, patron loads, and earthquakes, and the system design considers the semi-exterior environment in material selection and details of the assembly. Finally, McLaren produced complete bid documents for the ride, including both comprehensive design drawings and a technical performance specification. We also advised on and assisted in the pre-qualification of interested vendors.

Reference The Nassal Company 415 Kaley Street Orlando, Florida 32806 Mr. Marc Kish (407) 648-0400

Project Description The Nassal Company – and several other specialty contractors – retained McLaren to engineer exhibits, rockwork environments and signage at the 180-acre Las Vegas Springs Preserve. The Preserve, a subsidiary of the Nevada State Museum and Historical Society, is an interactive museum that takes you through the history and culture of Las Vegas. By utilizing live animal exhibits, realistic “natural” exhibits and habitats, never before seen artifacts, and hands-on education, the Preserve tells the history, preFlash Flood Exhibit history, and natural history of the area, as well as the fragility of nature and our role in protecting it. The complex includes a Desert Living Center museum area devoted to sustainable living, as well as exterior gardens and a network of walking paths. McLaren’s Role Hired as a structural expert, McLaren provided engineering support for incorporation of the exhibits, rockwork, and signs into the existing Preserve structure. This coordination of elements included accounting for the possibility of natural factors such as wind and earthquakes. It also considered the daily wear and tear of patron interaction.

Lizard Pit: Construction Phase

Since exhibit design occurred concurrently with the Preserve’s construction, McLaren performed a facility impact evaluation to demonstrate how the structural systems needed for the exhibits affected the structure. The need to ensure that all new systems introduced to the Preserve were adequately and safely supported was vital.

Another notable design challenge was mimicking organic shapes and structures using modern technologies and construction methods. The exhibits and rockwork were constructed using a variety of materials, including shotcrete, concrete, wood, glass, steel, and aluminum, and the key was to make the synthetic exhibits look real and, in some cases, replicate the technology of past eras.

Tree House Sculpture – The Crystals at City Center Location Las Vegas, Nevada Client/Owner WestWorks(!) Services Structural Analysis Structural Engineering Contract Period 2007-2009

Project Description “The Tree House” is the sculptural centerpiece of the new Sobella Retail space of The Crystals at City Center in Las Vegas. It is housed in an innovative mall space with angular rooflines and two stories of shopping. The Tree House is a free form, wood clad structure that seems to defy gravity, sitting precariously on a narrow base, spreading out to envelope part of the mezzanine floor, and then reaching away from its support to the skylight above. It appears to be made from horizontal and vertical slices of curved wood, and contains illuminated faces. The upper “oculus” allows light to shine inside the encapsulated bar, which bulbs out from the mezzanine. McLaren’s Role

Reference WestWorks(!) 155 Woodward Ave. South Norwalk, CT 06854 Mr. Jason West (203) 280-3310

McLaren provided complete structural engineering for the Tree House structure down to the main floor, the bulbed-out mezzanine floor, and support from the roof. The structural design considered weights of steel, wood cladding, lighting, electrical wiring, sprinklers, and pendant lighting. It also considered earthquakes. The irregular member size and form made the design process extremely challenging – their orientations were based on aesthetics, not structural efficiency – and the system behaves like a large, 3-D moment frame. Each member and connection experiences unique stresses, so each had to be analyzed individually. The connections of the secondary “ring” members to the primary “vertical” members were accomplished with bolts inside tapped holes, hiding the connection from view. Connections consist of four, six, eight, or ten bolts; connections with excessive forces required field welds. The shallow connection geometry (5” deep holes spaced only 2½” apart vertically) required stiffener plates to span across the primary members inside the joint, further complicating fabrication. Electrical wiring, recessed lighting units, and sprinkler pipes had to be installed along and through members without affecting the clean finished profiles, further complicating member intersections. The cantilevered “oculus” needed to be supported from wire ropes at the roof in order to make the framing work within the size constraints. There are four splayed wire ropes with turnbuckles, attached via ball joints to the roof truss members and via swivel hoist rings to the Tree House. The main floor structure was reinforced to support the Tree House’s weight. The mezzanine floor was framed with steel beams and a lightweight concrete slab that receives the upper primary members and delivers these loads onto the mezzanine floor framing. These connections involved severely curved members bolted via thick base plates onto receiving beams. The Tree House is a very ambitious design in which each piece affects every other piece, and no two pieces are alike. The fabricator produced precise steel and wood elements that fit perfectly when assembled on site, and the result is a one-of-a-kind sculptural assembly of “wood” elements that defies gravity.

HERMON MACNEIL PARK RECONSTRUCTION OF DRAINAGE SYSTEM CSA Group was contracted as a subconsultant to provide any incidental mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection design and construction services related to the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation Civil Engineering design requirements contract.

Client: NYC Department of Parks & Recreation

The purpose of this project was to eliminate the sewage back-up in the lawn area and to correct the drainage problem in the playground adjacent to the comfort station. Sewage back-up in the lawn area occurs when the comfort station facilities are heavily used (this usually occurs when there is an event on the plaza). The drainage problem in the playground has been attributed to a blockage of the storm sewer outfall into the bay.

Location: College Point Queens, NY

Also, the comfort station needed to be brought to into ADA compliance. The existing entrances into the restrooms were not wide enough to accommodate wheelchairs.

Completion Date: 2009

The park’s infrastructure (i.e. the sewers and comfort station) were restored to handle the intended capacity that was originally intended. The comfort station in particular was designed to meet current ADA standards with minor beautification done to the exterior.
