The Second Avenue Subway line in New York will run from 125th Street to Whitehall Street, the full length of Manhattan‘s East Side. The line will ease congestion on the Lexington Avenue line and provide a connection to mass transit for the ‘ east side of Manhattan. Fox & Fowle Architects is helping to create this complete new line that will allow the realization of New York City Transit‘s goals: environmental responsibility, high-performance design, neighborhood integration, and maintainability in the context of creating a system that meets passengers‘ needs for security, ease, and comfort.
It has been a long-time priority at Fox & Fowle Architects to elevate infrastructure standards with exuberance and attention to design. Much of the Second Avenue Subway work is below grade, but significant planning and conceptual work have
gone into the project at the ground level and below. Fox & Fowle Architects‘ designers are acutely conscious that people typically have more contact with infrastructure every day than they do with most buildings, beyond those they live and work in. Understanding transportation projects as a journey is important; good design can elevate that experience.
Fox & Fowle Architects is working collaboratively with a large team of engineers led by DMJM+ Harris/Arup, transit officials, and others; in a project office, some 200 people work side by side so that the full benefits of multidisciplinary integration and open communication can be realized. For the Fox & Fowle Architects team, this approach is an extension of how they usually work and it has been invigorating. Part of the role of Fox & Fowle Architects on this project has been to expand the exploration of the program to more fully engage
with the identity of the line above grade and how that intervention occurs in each neighborhood. Part of the team‘s mission is to reconcile a series of opposing elements: the line must have an identity that is its own, but also fit within the larger system, and it must also be welcoming and inviting, as well as secure and accessible, in each neighborhood.
The final resolutions for the stations will contain significant elements of commonality through universal platform, canopy, and enclosure components. For variability and to create a sense of identity for each of the diverse neighborhoods, each station design will integrate community-responsive art installations. There is a strong sense that the new line has an opportunity to capture the energy and enthusiasm of the city by celebrating the civic realm and providing an exciting experience for tourists and residents alike.
