stac . ca . to /ste’kädō/ sharply detached a piece marked to be separated from others Green Staccato is an ecological transformation of the brutal concrete landscape of Farmingdale’s downtown. The vast green landscape and clustered forests pose a deliberate and sharp detachment from the adjacent parking lot. By increasing total percentage of permeable surfaces of downtown Farmingdale by 100%, Green Staccato assists the natural hydrological system by acting as a water catchment.
