Detailed Buildings Map
By far my favorite map, this map varient shows the neighborhood in a more detailed light. Considering Battery Park City is located in Manhattan—filled with skyscrapers, I thought it would be an important wayfinding design choice to show the depth of the buildings, rather than the footprints.

Completed: 07/2024
Assignment Type: Internship

The largest task during my time with Battery Park City Authority was the redesign of the neighborhood map. Battery Park City is currently working on a large-scale redesign of the neighborhood to protect the land from future flood risk.

This new map would include the redesign of Wagner Park, as well as greenspace redesigns, pictured in the 2030 map below. My biggest priority for this redesign was providing more context. To achieve this, building footprints were added as well as the 9/11 memorial pools. I had also wanted the neighborhoods’ greenspaces to pop out more, which is the reasoning behind the tree information being added. More icons were included as well, including a memorials icon and citibike station icon.
