The first of five timber cabin frames designed by Susan T Rodriguez | Architecture • Design for the Chewonki Foundation’s new Girls’ Camp is now up! The timber frames are fabricated by Shelter Institute at their shop in Woolrich, Maine, using locally sourced hemlock, and are raised on site in a single day. Each frame is based on an 8-foot planning module and will sponsor strategic openings to allow an abundance of light, activate passive ventilation, and provide a view of the surrounding forest from each bunk. The four remaining timber frames will go up in the coming weeks.

Susan T Rodriguez | Architecture • Design, in collaboration with Mitchell Giurgola, is working with the Central Park Conservancy to re-imagine Central Park’s Lasker Pool and Rink. Located at the intersection of history, landscape, recreation, and the City, the design builds upon the historical framework envisioned by Olmsted and Vaux to re-open the Harlem Meer and surrounding community to the rest of the Park. The design calls for the demolition of the existing facility, construction of a new pool and rink, and the renewal of the surrounding landscape. Cut into the topography of the site, the integration of architecture and landscape comes together to create a new recreational experience that is integrated into the Park’s magnificent landscape and accessible to the public throughout the year. The project is the largest in Central Park Conservancy’s history and is scheduled to be completed by spring 2024.
