LAST RESISTANCE Columbia Design Studio Abstraction, Spring 2016 Instructor: Todd Rouhe Site Location: Sara D. Roosevelt Park, New York Phase: Concept Design Contribution: Design, Model & Render

In the near future, the last unregulated public space in New York City is a series of green paces and hard scapes between Canal Street and Houston Street in lower Manhattan.

Roosevelt Park maintains a social dimension as public space that must be monumentalized in order to resist and counteract real estate as an exclusive domain.
