Seeing Park Avenue as an oversized and underutilized zone that connects four vibrant neighborhoods from 42nd Street to 144th Street, Infrastructural Infill is a study testing the potential to locate a combination of mixed-use housing and transportation in the residual spaces caused by urban infrastructure. This discovered insertion can support one of the highest new densities in the city.
