The basic
plan of the project
features the aforementioned green covering over the expressway
- punctured by openings for exhaust and views to the roadway
below - that extends to embrace adjacent developments, and additional
towers that help to define the corridor as an appealing frontage
for future development. Johnson's towers are articulated to
further the sustainable basis of the park, with raised gardens
and facades fronting the park shaped to act as wind scoops to
circulate and clean the air, along with the park, of the submerged
expressway.
