I worked with the Center For Land Use Interpretation to design an interpretive tourist trail that winds through Staten Island's Fresh Kills Landfill and explores its varied infrastructure and dynamic internal processes. This Interpretive Transect features such highlights as gas, fluid, and temperature monitoring stations, as well as a pedestrian tunnel where visitors can descend into the depths to view the landfill's layers of trash through specially-engineered windows. This project was a part of the City of New York's international landscape design competition Fresh Kills: Landfill to Landscape, a competition devoted to redesigning and eventually reclaiming the world's largest landfill. More about this competition submission here.
