in partnership with new york city's department of parks & recreation, the 2012 land art generator initiative design competition will be held for a site within freshkills park [the former fresh kills landfill] in staten island. lagi 2012 is an ideas competition to design a site-specific public artwork that, in addition to its conceptual beauty, has the ability to harness energy cleanly from nature and convert it to electricity for the utility grid. the expansiveness of the design site at freshkills park presents the opportunity to power the equivalent of thousands of homes with the artwork. the stunning beauty of the reclaimed landscape and the dramatic backdrop of the manhattan skyline will provide an opportune setting from which to be inspired, and it offers the perfect environment for a showcase example of the immense potential of aesthetically interesting renewable energy installations for sustainable urban planning. in addition to providing a wide range of recreational opportunities, including many uncommon in the city, the park’s design, ecological restoration and cultural and educational programming will emphasize environmental sustainability and a renewed public concern for our human impact on the earth.
