2014 ENYA Ideas Competition: QueensWay Connection: Elevating the Public Realm

The AIANY Emerging New York Architects (ENYA) Ideas Competition endeavored to broaden the scope of architectural discourse by posing a design challenge grounded in the context of New York City and encouraging local and international emerging designers to participate. For the 2014 competition, QueensWay Connection: Elevating the Public Realm, entrants were challenged to design a vertical gateway for the elevated viaduct portion of a 3.5 mile stretch of abandoned railway in Central Queens, which was under study for conversion into an urban greenway by The Trust for Public Land, Friends of the Queensway, and their design consultants.
