Architects Maul Eerie River Ruin
Now, the Roosevelt Island Visual Arts Association with Coler-Goldwater Hospital asked designers to breathe new life into the site that was once dubbed Welfare Island.
The presentations that make up "Southpoint: from Ruin to Rejuvenation" featured work from young architects from around the world, but 28 of the entries came from New Yorkers.
The entrants not only had to come up with a multi-use arts facility on Roosevelt Island, but also come up with a plan that would be useful to the high number of disabled residents of adjacent Coler-Goldwater Hospital.
