Migrant Made
Michael Thut
Sharon Haar

Over the last two years, New York City has received more than 150,000 migrants from the Texas border. This has overwhelmed city resources and space as migrants struggle to create a better life for themselves in one of the most expensive cities in the world. This project seeks to help address the migrant crisis by revitalizing a heavily, underutilized, parking lot into a public, neighborhood plaza with additional migrant resources. The design intends to utilize the manpower of the area’s new residents across a three phase construction process that transitions from a grassroots approach to a more institutionalized governmental approach.
