This proposal seeks to strengthen the contextual urban fabric and capitalize on the increasing economic and cultural vitality of Battery Park in New York City, through the use of a multi-purpose performing arts center. The design derives inspiration from the surrounding circulation systems - capitalizing on existing pedestrian and automotive movement and intensities. In turn, these intensities have lead to the development of a structure that directly engages its occupants and responds to the surrounding built environment. Inside, the focal point of the establishment, the main concert venue, responds to changing performance conditions through the implementation of adjustable stage and mechanical systems. In addition to the performance spaces, the facility also provides footage for mixed-use activity - such as retail, further engaging and establishing its identity within the Lower Manhattan community
