Showcasing the Culture of a Community: The redesign of DUMBO's plaza and surrounding streetscape employs the concept of modernizing public utilities and unifying the best elements of the existing neighborhood by amplifying them in a contemporary urban square design. With features such as trademark cobble streets throughout the area and a multi-purpose seating sculpture, the design unites the areas of historic culture of the area with a breath of new life, furthering the legacy of a vibrant public plaza for the next century.
