Designed by Rogers Marvel Architects, the Brooklyn Yard-Scraper is a new mixed-use, super-sustainable redevelopment proposal set on replacing the Brooklyn Detention House and changing the urban landscape by building upwards.
Their proposal is actually an excellent example of how city-owned space, that has since lost all relevant social and contextual value, can be re-imagined into a sustainable new project ready to breathe a new-life and perspective into its surroundings.
The Brooklyn Yard-Scraper would be built in downtown Brooklyn. An area that currently undergoing with incredible urban renewal in the form of numerous new residential and commercial-office buildings. But scaling back on urban sprawl, the new Yard-Scraper will take on a completely vertical form, which arguably also happens to be the most efficient mode for building.
And so the Yard-Scraper will more effectively utilize both space and on-site resources, serving a larger majority of the population than could have otherwise been served.
The lower floors of the new Yard-Scraper will comprise areas for social, commercial and educational activities, and each of these will have direct access to an open or closed green space. The upper floors will house what could be considered as Brooklyn’s nouveau brownstones, in addition to a number of other flats. Each unit will be stacked one upon another and oriented in such a way to maximize airflow and interior light distribution, reducing the dependency on energy hungry mechanical systems.
Certain areas of the facade will also be clad in solar voltaic panels, and the building will host a green house center, a vertical farm, numerous garden terraces, the Institute for Urban Sustainability, the Brooklyn Library of Science and Environment and much more.
