The Emerging New York Architects Committee (ENYA), AIA New York Chapter, is pleased to announce its fifth biennial ideas competition, The Harlem Edge | Cultivating Connections. Please join us at the Center for Architecture, September 27 at 6:00 pm to help us celebrate its launch.

The Harlem Edge/Cultivating Connections competition will explore the redevelopment of the decommissioned Department of Sanitation marine transfer station located in the Hudson River at 135th Street. The site offers the opportunity to engage the local Harlem community with the waterfront, and echoes recent efforts by New York City to reclaim the waterfront for a variety of publicly beneficial uses, as outlined in Department of City Planning’s Vision 2020, and the Comprehensive Waterfront Action Plan for New York City.

There will be a brief presentation describing the site and our intentions for the competition. Competition organizers will be available to answer questions during the event. There will be an opportunity to view entries from previous competitions.

Jury and winners will be announced in February 2012.
