DailyLand: Pier 57

This project has been around the blogs lately, and it's an interesting meshing of site and architecture - driven by the unique opportunity of creating space atop a pier in New York City. Via Bustler, the team includes LOT-EK, with developer Young Woo & Associates The project "...foresees a rooftop park crowning a small shopping center of local artisan stores built with recycled shipping containers."

Luckily, World Landscape Architect came through and mentioned that West 8 is also on the team providing design of the public spaces... a fact overlooked by much of the press.
