MATTHEW MARK I ADAM MAHARDY 10TH AVE.+ 27TH ST. I CHELSEA I NEW YORK CITY
Manhattan is a center of entrepreneureal spirit; a place where constant technological innovation is juxtaposed with massive soceo-economic variety. In this dense fabric of hyperurbanization, the city block serves as the ultimate unit of metropolitan culture and adaptability. However, the constant flux of circulation between work, education, and leisure creates a conflict in the availablity of space and time. The New York City Center for Innovation serves as a catalyst for startup companies and experimental organizations to establish infrastructure, to grow, and to showcase ideas. In doing so, the developmental New York Block aims to help those companies and others bring research discoveries, job markets, and technological innovation to New York City while also providing direct access to retail, education and leisure for entrepreneureal growth.

ECOLOGICAL ASSIMILATION
I
The oppurtunity of a network of roof-top parks allows for a variety of structural, programmatic, and ecological layering of systems. While the innovation canopy is primarily for the elevation of labratories and workplaces, the utilization of heavy structural steel columns is able to support open atrium within each collective module of labs while also supporting the glass facades of the market on the ground floor. A network of suspended circulation creates an elevated highway of traffic between work and residential without interfering with the pace of leisurely traffic below.
