A publication by the Alliance for Downtown New York featurese ideas for “Greenwich South.”
The Alliance for Downtown New York
The Alliance for Downtown New York completed a study of the 41 acres south of the World Trade Center site between Broadway and West Street, dubbed Greenwich South. While Lower Manhattan has traditionally been a business district, the Alliance advocates reconnecting this area with other neighborhoods while establishing it as a destination of its own, containing residences, retail, and entertainment options intermingled with public space. A variety of well-known firms participated in the study, contributing their visions for Greenwich South, including: Lewis.Tsurumaki.Lewis/LTL Architects; Transsolar; Architecture Research Office (ARO); IwamotoScott; Coen + Partners; WORKac; Beyer Blinder Belle Architects & Planners; and Morphosis. The Alliance produced a document containing their ideas supplemented with drawings and renderings. A number of the proposals are on view at the Center for Architecture’s Helfand Gallery for the month of October.
