"Battery Park City and the Authority are not just about the buildings – it’s about the character of the community that has developed over time. Public space has had a new renaissance in New York City, but here in Battery Park City is where it started."
South Cove is a place based artwork, the result of a collaboration between an artist (Mary Miss), a landscape architect (Susan Child) and an architect (Stan Eckstut). The piece incorporates natural materials, plantings, constructed elements, and the water and sky themselves to create a beautiful and very moving environment.
