Landfill to landscape to lifescape
In december and january, the
CLUI’s Bulletin Board series of timely presentations
featured an exhibit depicting the proposals of the six semifinalists
in the design competition for the redevelopment of New York
City’s Fresh Kills Landfill. While the exhibit was
on display at CLUI Los Angeles, the selection committee
in New York was reviewing and deliberating, and finally
selected the winner of the competition (retaining two of
the original six teams as back-ups). The winning proposal
was the “Lifescape” plan’s team, headed by
James Corner’s and Stan Allen’s Field Operations
group. The two “runners up” were the JMP Landscape
team, and the Rios Associates team (which included the CLUI
as a member). Though some sort of redevelopment will take
place at the closed landfill, said to be the largest in
America, funding priorities in New York City have shifted,
due to the terrorist attacks of 2001, and the Fresh Kills
project no doubt will move forward at a reduced pace.
