Look Up, Sit Down, Be Still

Comprised of three projects "Look Up, Sit Down, Be Still" intends to create a physical and visual dialog between pedestrians and the cityscape, while simultaneously providing a place for individuals to interact or gain a degree of solitude, as well as direct attention to the ubiquitous, iconic entity within the New York Skyline, the wood water towers. The website will establish a virtual meeting place to exchange ideas and raise awareness about Green Design and Renewable Energy.
