EMBEDDED SANCTUARIES


2022
Hyde Park, NY

Adv IV Studio
Instructor: Nina Cooke-John
Design in Partnership: Jonghoon Park

The following project is located in Guinea Town, a recently declared historical site in Hyde Park, New York.
Contrasting the past - The site was once a free black community in times of the underground railroad - with the current undocumented immigration issue and exploited workers in rural areas of the state, this project aims to tackle memory by reactivating the sanctuary character of the site.
The design aims to provide sanctuary for undocumented families through the expansion of the site’s existing camping infrastructure, referencing the historical axial quality of Freedonia lane - which once was the main street in the guinea town community.
The design presents a network of programs with different seasonal qualities alongside the historical path, which are linked conceptually and programmatically by birding paths that weave through the park.
