details
 Our design recognizes three main phases of implementation-- the current state, a period of cleaning the site and the building of the civil works, and a period in which the systems are in place and operating. While now the public is isolated from the site, in our early phase the public can witness the work and transformation of the site, BUT NOT OCCUPY IT.  As the site matures, the public will be able to come onto the site, and experience the systems they watched being constructed.
