At a nine-acre parcel in a decommissioned section of the Philadelphia Navy Yard, this publicly accessible corporate campus with huge brick buildings is centered around a battleship-sized dry dock. Starting with the vernacular landscape as the inspiration, the project became a model for the artistic and ecologically-sound reuse of materials, including concrete chunks nicknamed Barney and Betty Rubble, as well as brick, rusted metal, and other materials. The salvaging strategy obviated the need for imported materials and avoided exporting nearly a thousand cubic yards of waste from being landfilled. Miles of buried railroad tracks were unearthed and informed the layout and routes for pedestrian pathways. Learn more: https://tclf.org/prize.
