BNY PROMENADE (DAY) DANCE PLAZA (NIGHT) A combined material canopy blankets the ground and covers the lightning lab in Dry Dock 2 and Dry Dock 3. During the day time, the topography of the canopy create a playground for general public. Food kiosks and urban furniture alone the promenade bring people who works in BNY up to the viewing decks with view toward lower Manhattan. At night, the canopy act as an extraordinary surface lit up by the lightning bolt effect for performance, and for art.


The Current Issue of Concrete Life Cycle EVENTS A 40,000 square feet event hall is located above Dry Dock 4 which can serve fashion show, weddings, exhibition and any special events for public. The translucent platform extends out and back, creating a beautiful curvy walkway that connects to dock 03 and reframes the relationship between the industrial zone and the surrounding waterfront.



vision of concrete recycle industry Thanks to the convenience of water transportation, Brooklyn Navy Yard Concrete recycling lab will continue to provide recycled concrete for the new constructions in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and other regions that can be reached through waterway. The industrial landscape created by the lab will also serve as a unique community feature for the local residents.
