Project: Center for Forgotten Sports Location: 155th Street, Harlem Date: Summer 2014

Multi-sports complex, focused on movement and layering programs in a community space, weaving into the neighbor-hood fabric, making room for play in a movement centered design.

Graduate school of Architecture, Planning and Preservation

Introduction to Architecture

The site is located on 155th Street between Frederick Douglass Boulevard and the East River in Harlem, New York. This location has been home to the Polo Grounds and Rucker Park. The convergence of four neighborhoods, four elevations, and 10,000 residents makes for a dynamic site. The community is 40% youth and 97% people of color. Despite its rich history with sport there are few spaces for recreation today. 155th Street breaks into two with the viaduct passing at 60 feet above the site. The sports center will energize the existing assets of this location and provide a cutting edge sports complex for the neighborhood.

Clark University

In 2009, Clark University sent a research team to Cusco, Peru to investigate the effects of the rapid growth of eco-cultural tourism on the fabric of the ancient urban space. Both local and global stakeholders are reshaping this global city with Machu Picchu’s recent designation as a Wonder of the World.

Cusco Plaza Del Armas, where 100% of the real estate is devoted to the tourism economy.

The Graduate Planning Studio facilitated a conversation between academics, civil society, businesses, and govern-ment. Through this exchange and the conference a report was generated and shared with local stakeholders. More at: http://idcecuscoperu.blogspot.com/2008/11/studio-and-cusco-peru.html

Plaza San Blas is fully occupied with the trade of traditional culture and art. Economic and social pressures resulting from tourism are driving the use of this ancient public space which is a internation-ally celebrated UNENESCO World Heritage Center.
