Net Work

Net Work is conceptualized based upon the relationship between the Scranton Heritage Trail and Lackawanna River. Free-form layouts were performed deliberately, mimicking the feel of navigating through nature.

The Heritage Trail lacks access to the River currently. Net Work provides direct access to the river for hikers, fishermen, kayakers, and pedestrians who want to enjoy themselves by the river. Its Sanctuary structure sits above the river, framing the pedestrian’s views down-river and allowing only the ambience of moving water to be heard through its openings in the floor. This offers a space to get away from the sounds and feeling of the city of Scranton nearby.
