The theme for Design Week has been announced. Our special guest,
Kathy Poole, will be giving a public lecture one Wednesday at 4 in CDL 110. Our students are breaking into teams to explore the
IFLA student competition theme of “TRANSFORMING WITH WATER, THE WAY TO PARADISE?” For the week, students will be focusing on an area in the southern part of the Meadowlands that is near Snake Hill and Secaucus Junction. IFLA asks them to develop a new innovating and inspirational solution for the problem. But what problem is here?
To start thinking about the problem/s I pulled out some old Meadowlands photos of my own. These photos do not show the site for Design Week, but capture areas directly adjacent and show the basic nature of the area.
I notice that some train enthusiasts have captured glimpses of the landscape in their
YouTube videos, too. It is remarkable that the landscape of the Meadowlands is more famous for its barrenness and old cultural histories and industrial past than for its remarkable natural processes and looks.
