This project reimagines the Tracey Towers site in the Bronx—originally designed by Paul Rudolph under the Mitchell-Lama Program—as a layered, community-oriented infrastructure. Respecting the historical and architectural significance of the towers, many existing elements are preserved, while new interventions prioritize safety, accessibility, and engagement across generations.
Through a series of spatial strategies—including a Community Wellness Park, Integrated Transportation Hub, and Rooftop Revitalization—the design transforms the elongated site into a vibrant urban sequence. By integrating daycares, senior living, public plazas, and recreational zones, the project fosters everyday interactions and highlights the importance of designing for life’s transitional moments.
