Analyzing the history of waterfront it becomes important / (the big idea is to) to bridge the gap between private and public occupied program along the water’s edge. Creating urban waterfront that allows interaction be- tween architecture and East River Water and to find design solutions which may offer the key to unlocking the potential of the river along the way and might begin to shape the city’s contemporary relationship with water and enhancing its connectivity between neighboring Boroughs. The idea is to build a hard edge ribbon of semi private and semi public programs along the water’s edge that inhibits changing climate and sea- level rise. Semi public programs break the continuous semi private block at three different nodes that allows to establish strong connection to neighboring borough forming a nodal system. The two edge conditions visual connection and physical connection interacts differently with the East river water. The ghats (steps) along the hard edge allows physical access to water and the other edge creates visual connectivity with water. The housing structure is reflection of the ghats system and this continuous ribbon of housing block steps down towards the water’s edge to create visual connectivity between water and newly extended Manhattan. The edge condition brings in people to the new extension and also aims to balance the urban ecosystem.
