The purpose of this project was to research, envision, and render tangible critical design interventions that would serve as an implementation platform for the redevelopment of the Prospect Avenue area in light of upcoming Prospect Max bus services. With the corridors’ divisive histories and their implication upon its physical body and the still persistent socioeconomic and cultural practices, the challenge was to create a coherent urban whole. The project focused on development of a method for discerning critical natural, infrastructural, morphological, historical, and socioeconomic conditions that could be strategically appropriated to create a framework for the generation of a new urban order that capitalizes on the qualities of the place. Rather than applying normative typologies to emerging design questions, the project opened possibilities for the generation of new design inquiries and the discovery of innovative design solutions germane to answering specific needs of improving the urban environment along Prospect Avenue.
