L-OOP CONNECTIVITY
For our core urban studio, Kerry Garikes and I examined three sites within the NYC subway system in which two subway lines cross but do not connect.
While researching, we discovered that connecting subway lines dramatically increased the property values of the surrounding area. We used this as leverage in order to fund the project.
L-oop Connectivity works to increase connectivity in the urban fabric through an innovative point system. By scoring a selection of scalar interventions, we can demonstrate that even the smallest moves can create large gains.
Our mission is to promote a more connected, resilient, and vibrant Brooklyn.
