Study Cohort Members	Lorena Checa Kelley Tapia Jim Hamilton Nicole Negowetti
Working Title of The Project (which we will use to refer to it throughout the series)	Little Island
Project Location	NYC
Nature of The Project (e.g. building, new community, economic development, etc.)	Public park located in the Hudson River Park for the public to experience nature and art.
Why do you think this project is appropriate for the course assignment?	It's in NYC, which is a middle point for all of us. It's public, visible, high profile, multidimensional, philanthropic, and there's a sustainability vibe to it. It's challenging, and we'll be dealing with uncertainty. There could be a high level of team collaboration (We'll be able to ask who are the ones most impacted by this project? There will be community-involvement). It's organic, and there is an evolving design and construction process. We could learn about storing and reusing stormwater, waste management systems, and carbon-capture. Finally, the proximate whole can be as narrow or as wide as we might like it to be, which makes it interesting
