Atlantic Yards: Willamsburgh Bank Contrast to Atlantic Mall 2

Atlantic Terminal Mall

 Atlantic Termiinal mall is the latest development near Atlantic Yards.  My observations were as follows:

1.  Construction wtihin the boundaries of Atlantic Yards.
Prospect Hieghts lowrise structures contrasts with the highrise buildings beyond and form a imaginary boundary along Flatbush  by there stark architectural style and hieght differences.
Material changes occur within the side walks as New York's famous stone side walks are being replaced for concrete.



2. People gathered outside of Atlantic Center Mall to sit within the small public space
 people gravitated more towards  areas where there are people


Example of how people tend to use the public space, no one sat on the other end of the stairs, although there is plenty of room, there were no people near.
