Description

Many vacant lots can be found in East Harlem. However, they are rarely taken advantage of as a means of improving local residents’ quality of life. At 1650 and 1651 Madison Ave., two diagonally adjacent neighborhood lots are designed for various atmospheric daylight phenomena in a colored light and shadow interplay with each other. Appropriating various atmospheric daylight phenomena – such as dappled light, water reflections, and the wash of warm vermillion sunsets – Daylight & Shadow Parks will distribute diurnal and nocturnal light through the horizontal and vertical structures, offering residents opportunities to commune within a choreography of a range of colorful light and shadow or to witness its spectacle from a neighborly distance.
