The West Village demonstrates multiple typologies—building, infrastructure, landscape and public space—within one environment. Density and open space are not in opposition, as the architect rethinks the role of civic spaces to support the breadth of requisites for a diverse society. The five-story project spans an entire block, visually and contextually contrasting with the neighborhood matrix of characteristically mid- and high-rise buildings. An open yet enclosed perimeter of sloping pathways for cyclists and pedestrians envelopes its own vibrant city of cultural, athletic, recreational and business activities within, while allowing the public to view through to the surrounding natural and built environments. Local and wild flora is featured, as bricks are paved upended to enable grasses to flourish through the core holes and indigenous bamboo groves provide shaded areas of respite.
