Project Orbit: The Public Revival of the Superblock

Project Orbit is a masterplan to fundamentally change the closed of relationship between the residential area of the Second Avenue and the medical area along the First Avenue in Midtown, New York. The project is comprised of the creation of a public plaza with a subway station and leisure uses; the repurposing of two listed buildings, for flexible needs of the medical complex; and the densification by a residential ring, hovering over the plaza.
