Battery Park City Community Center by Hanrahan Meyers Architects
Hanrahan Meyers architects currently working on a project Battery Park City Community Center, in North Environment, Battery Park City, New York. It is scheduled to be completed by 2010, the primary architectural feature of the new platinum LEED-rated Battery Park City Community Center is a 500-foot long glass ‘Wall of Light’ situated at the base of two new residential towers in Battery Park City’s North Neighborhood immediately north of Ground Zero. The wall will feature an installation of LED lights designed by hanrahanMeyers architects with Tillotson Design Associates, illuminating a sound composition by New York composer Michael Schumacher. The wall is a public promenade and demonstration of the passive energy systems fueling the new Community Center. Facing inside the center, the wall unifies a diverse program of swimming pools, a gymnasium, theater, classrooms, and recreation and dance spaces, while bringing natural light into all of the primary spaces.

The idea of using real trees to build a house, even structure is a good way to design eco friendly houses. But to some extent, it doesnt fit the need of really using real trees in the building. It seems like, you are living in an undeveloped area.
Branches spread everywhere in house, doesnt seem neat.
They still couldve been used, by maybe polishing the wood, or making it
seem to ‘fit in’, with the surroundings.
