Governors Island revitalization winner announced

http://www.core77.com/blog/object_cul...

NYC's Governors Island revitalization competition, also called Park at the Center of the World, has just named the winning proposal designed by the West 8, Rogers Marvel, Diller Scofidio & Renfro, Quennel Rothschild, and SMWM team. The revamping of over 90 acres of land includes plans for a promenade and park featuring playgrounds, sports fields, ecological environments, open park space, an amphitheater, and--get this--hills created from preexisting buildings on the island! Awesome! The proposal even includes plans to integrate free bicycle rentals for visitors to use while exploring the island. (Yesss!) The Great Promenade will make the waterfront a true destination, offering a new perspective and sprawling views of Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn.
