Claire Weisz, Principal at WXY Architecture, discusses the design plan for the Battery Bosque. Once a two-acre area of asphalt, the Bosque now fulfills the historic Battery Park's potential as a destination. Full of natural abundance, with spaces to sit, eat, and play, it is a lushly planted porch in the vast acreage of New York's Inner Harbor. Key to this transformation was the synergy between the concept of a garden on the waterfront and the design of new park elements that could enrich the atmosphere.
