Queens-way New York Competition

The Queens Way is a community-led effort to transform a blighted, 3.5 mile stretch of abandoned railway in Central Queens into a family-friendly linear park and cultural green-way. The Queens Way is a connector. At its heart is Forest Park. To its south lies Gateway National Park and the Jamaica Bay Gateway Green-way, and to its north is Flushing Meadows-Corona Park. The Queens way will be a new park, community-beneficial and a cultural site.

Warming Hut competition is for connect community during the long and bored winter in Winnipeg, Canada. I utilized the long ice skating frozen river as a tunnel. So people could pass by and take a rest and talk for a while. People can pass by freely and also enjoy the little shelter. The exterior reflective surface can blend in the surrounding landscape and create a new landscape. This is how the surface would look like.
