SLACK LINE

A new urban fabric, stretched between two boroughs and threaded through a New York icon.

Slacklike reimagines the Brooklyn Bridge as an urban fabric that weaves together the varied uses of the bridge and the occupant’s diverse rates of travel. The proposal adds footpaths and separated bike lanes to alleviate congestion. Plazas at the piers and in the centre span host common mixing of all travelers in the company of vendors and resilient crop planting. Finally, new stairs and a funicular provide access from the waterfront creating new community and tourism centres.
