tetsuya KAWANO + karolina FIDOR: The project site touching the seashore, the juxtaposed natural area of beach, dunes and maritime forest, the Marine Rockaway Bridge, nearby habitation areas…

Blank/Vacant
We see the site as neither a classically green civic space in tradition of Central Park nor a truly wild or natural preserve such as the eight refuges within the Long Island National Wildlife Refuge Complex.* Fort Tilden is not imbued with a remarkable institutional mission (to preserve, to educate or to even stimulate the public) and it is arguably not a natural space infused with a particularly rich natural legacy worthy of significant preservation efforts.

frisly colop MORALES: The concept proposal for the Fort Tilden Fields is comprised of an observation deck, restaurant, recreational spaces, lobbies, and unique spaces existing in the intersection of the project’s shapes and edges, which are between land and water. It becomes a recreational landmark that will satisfy New Yorkers who are seeking a sanctuary of harmonious combinations of genuine aesthetics and practicality. The site is inspired by natural formations, distinctively existing as an open park where sport fields are not arranged in a traditional manner and instead follow the dynamic movement of the volumes which invoke an impression of natural waves.

Forming three distinctive elements to comprise one pod. the pods purpose is to serve as exhibition vitrine in varying spaces.

iveanette SANTIAGO RIVERA + daniel AFFLECK: The recreation center is conceived as a cellular configuration of “dunes” oriented around a public space. By imagining a dune which wraps around to form a cell, we were able to create spaces appropriate for the viewing of sports events. Like the nearby forts, the modules are embedded within the coastal surrounding to provide protection from the elements.

michael TYRE: The Field House project seeks the in-between condition, an intentionally ambiguous state aimed at expanding conventional modes of use. Here the architecture operates in-between the scale of a building and a landscape, spaces fluctuate in-between interior and exterior atmospheres, and the landscape materializes in-between the natural and the synthetic.
