Junction Grove travels to the past to find the future. It invents a new kind of recreational density for Englewood by embracing programmatic and morphological traces of the past, and adapts the unique urban landscapes to address the issues of air, water, and soil pollution of today. Walking paths, dense tree plantings, and topographical elements spawn from the former rail line between 58th and 59th streets, creating new community spaces and opportunities for local residents.
