18,000 years ago Manhattan was covered by two miles thick of glacial ice – taller than any building currently in Manhattan. As the glacier retreated it created the defining geological features and topography of Manhattan and deposited boulders and glacial debris that originated hundreds of miles away. The landscapes for the Manhattanville Factory District reveal this rich and varied geological history through the use of stone and topography. The landscapes also connect various development sites in the district through three new interblock links between 125th street and 128th. Taken together these three landscapes will provide vital new publicly accessible open space in the Manhattanville Factory District and offer array of new programmatic activities for residents of West Harlem. Terrain Work is collaborating with Janus Property, Leven Betts, and Gluck+ for this new plan that will transform the district giving residences the framework to forge new connections and experiences of their own.
