Proposal for a parklet and pop-up situated on Bar & Grill Park in DUMBO. I developed this project along with a team of interns while doing my 2nd co-op at Gensler in 2016. We strived to energize the Brooklyn Strand by creating flexible outdoor spaces that provide relaxation, connect communities and celebrate the unique local culture. We choose this site because it’s severely underused and poorly maintained and felt strongly compelled to introduce a kit of parts that would allow the neighborhood and visitors alike to enjoy this park in a myriad of ways. This kit of parts addresses the following issues throughout this area in Brooklyn: lack of way finding, safety, accessibility, noise, lack of identity, support local businesses and sustainability. We ultimately intended this strategy to be modular and adaptable so it could be utilized towards other similar spaces throughout the Brooklyn Strand.
