IDA 2024 NOW OPEN -- Regular Deadline October 31, 2024
The Link spans across an empty park in Buffalo, NY to join two neighborhoods. Its purpose is to connect a largely ignored community while promoting health, unity, and safety. The project blurs the boundaries between the built and natural landscape and allows users to fully embrace both simultaneously. Recreation is at the forefront and is designed to allow the community to engage in various activity spaces year round in a climate that often is otherwise restricting. The project intends to bridge users at various scales to create an impact much larger than the built environment itself.
