In these two designs for an AIDS Memorial Park in Manhattan's West Village, the driving idea is the transformation of a block-long stretch of 12th Street into a reflective surface. The street becomes a reflecting pool spanned by a rose-toned bridge. The site for the 2012 competition, organized by the AIDS Memorial Park Coalition, was a triangular piece of land—formed by Seventh Avenue, West 12th Street, and Greenwich Avenue—across from the former St. Vincent's Hospital. In the submitted entry, the canal-like reflecting pool is bordered on the south side by a lawn planted with a grove of trees. In the unsubmitted entry, the lawn to the south of the pool becomes a gently rising hillock that reaches its apex where the bridge spans the water, providing visitors with a higher vantage point. Tucked under the rise of the hill is a subterranean exhibition space. A wall of windows along the hill's north-facing side provides light to the space.
