Holding Ground

Studio Instructor: Gary Hilderbrand
Client: NYC Transit
Program: Arrival Plaza
Location: New York City
Area: 5,700 m2
Status: Student Project

In the future where mass transit will be intrinsic to New York City’s economical, social, ecological, and spatial evolution. Midtown and west Manhattan will re-orient toward Penn station as a center of transit and vital portal to the city’s growth and livelihood.



Holding the ground above Penn Station as an active center for transit, the project presents the new station as a broad civic plaza for arriving and departure, convening, lingering, and celebrating life in the city.

8th Avenue, 34th street, and the surround neighborhood are adapted with increased public realms, reprioritized streets and wider sidewalks, and a massively increased urban forest canopy to produce a more walkable and ecologically productive transit infrastructure for the city.

Visitors, commuters, and residents arriving and departing the city thru this vast forested plains, the newly beating heart of the city, are imprinted with an indelible, seasonally changing experience of this city’s fabric and ethos.
