Video Diary

I came across these video diaries by Michael Van Valkenburgh as he tours the unfinished site of his firm's Brooklyn Bridge Park, the plaza at the Boston Children's Museum, and Central Park. These are some pretty interesting videos as you listen to him describe the spaces and the future of his design. This is a great way for residents to feel connected to the park even before its built and for all to get a glimpse of some of the construction. All the videos can be found on the WNYC Youtube page.

  1. the BQE produces 80 decibels of sound, so it will be interesting to see if this proposed berm will buffer the sound significantly. Also the design of the BQE was designed to direct all sound away from Brooklyn and towards the waterfront, but that was back when nobody expected anytype of parks on the waterfront. Im glad that they are posting these videos so that the people who aren't able to get out to Brooklyn can get a chance to see the progress. Good job finding this.
