Field Notes from the Hudson Valley: 1 Vacant Land (A Pilot) is the first in a series of infrastructural investigations, essays, maps, drawings, photographs, and speculative design projects to develop provocative narratives of the condition and future of the valley, and provide a basis for planning, design and advocacy for the many stakeholders in the region. Extending several hundred miles north from Manhattan Island, touching five states, the region includes nine counties, 13 cities, and over 200 villages and towns. Its watershed covers over 13,000 square miles. The status and future of this area deeply affects the lives of millions, from New York City to a broad swath of the American northeast.
This edition of Field Notes from the Hudson Valley documents the tactical approach to activating publicly-owned vacant land through small design interventions in Newburgh, NY.
