河岸与奥运村“交织”

奥林匹克村和后奥林匹克村应该是强烈而且显著的。设计者试图通过将给定的基地划分成两个彻底的、相辅相成的部分：一空、一满，从而做到这点。从河上的城市公共空间可以直接看到这个密集的城市街坊：河岸上的奥运村。设计者根据建筑规模和用途，将奥运村基地一侧的城市河岸开敞，由于景观加上视野开阔，使这里成为纽约极具吸引力的地方。奥运村将所有的功能空间浓缩到一部分基地上，以激发出纽约式的城市图景，而如果将这些面积布局在整个基地上，这种图景将大为减色。密集的城市格网赋予这个新的街坊以活力，恢宏的河岸天际线将吸引更多的纽约人来到这里。

通过在功能和外观上区分不同的塔楼，这一群塔楼被赋予了个性和归属感。塔楼的首层是公共功能、门厅及停车场入口。居住者将车停在作为裙房的方形基座下，从而将其上的顶面留给公众俯瞰河岸、港口，或远眺天际线。塔楼在面积不同的各层平面中布置单元，同时并置了私人和公共的花园。居住空间围绕中庭，并加入揭示塔楼特性的体育运动元素。建筑从下向上逐渐收缩、并略微倾斜，同时考虑了更靠里的塔楼间相互的景观。有时，将这些微斜的塔楼中相邻的两个连在一起（如同亲吻状），这形成了三维上的组团划分、交织，塔楼典雅的外观在响应奥林匹克精神的同时，也呼应了曼哈顿塔楼群的形态。河边的那块基地则完全空出来，被那些称为“奥林匹克广场”的相互交织的塔楼群所包围。

Weaving Village on the Beach

The Olympic and post-Olympic Village deserves intensity and visibility. We propose achieving this by dividing the given plot into two radical, synergetic elements: one empty , one full. An urban public space at the river faces a dense urban neighborhood: the Village on the Beach. The urban beach, due to its size and use, opens the site as a New York City attraction: views plus unimpeded space. The Village condenses all the program into a portion of the site to stimulate a NYC-style urbanity that would otherwise be diluted on the entire site. Dense city grid energizes the new neighborhood; spacious skyline beach brings even more New Yorkers to the neighborhood.

By differentiating the towers in program and appearance, a collection is created that stimulates a sense of individuality and belonging. The ground level of towers contain public functions, lobbies and parking entrances. Residents park their cars under the plinth, leaving the above surface for public use with views over the beach, the creek, the skyline and the railyard. The towers house the apartments with varying floor plate sizes and incorporate private and public gardens. Living spaces surround atria with sports elements that open up the towers. Slender toward the top and slightly tilted, the buildings allow for views from and to the towers more inland. At some occasions these tilting acts connect neighboring towers (like ). This leads to a three-dimensional group of differentiated, weaving, polite towers that echo the Olympic Spirit and challenge the current Manhattan tower typology. One block is kept empty at the waterfront, surrounded by the weaving towers: an Olympic Plaza.
