SMALLER, SAFER, FAIRER: Steps towards closing Rikers

The Justice Implementation Task Force fully launched two weeks ago joined by NADAAA’s Dan Gallagher, with Working Groups on Safely Reducing the Jail Population, Culture Change and Design meeting to provide feedback and innovation to the City’s strategies to transform our justice system.

In a major step in configuring jails off Rikers Island, the city is inviting proposals for a master plan for a borough-based jail system for New York City. Starting with the three existing Department of Correction facilities in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens, the study will provide information on what is possible at each location, as well as help to identify additional sites, as needed, to house a population of 5,000 off-Island. The study will engage neighborhoods along with members of the Design Working Group of the Justice Implementation Task Force.

Globe and Mail writer Dave Leblanc discusses the history of the circle where the new Daniels Building sits with Dean Sommer.

“So it’s a kind of witness to the transformation of the city but also this didactic or pedagogical lesson in architecture as something that starts out as uptight, British, a cloister for enlightenment, then becomes a laboratory, and now, let’s say, something creative,” Dean Sommer offers.

“Experience with an academic practice has taught me to appreciate both the value of research and the mandate to push forward the boundaries of professional practice. […] I am aware of the imperative of peer recognition for new and evolving voices in our profession. All projects begin with the potential to be great. When they emerge from construction having succeeded because of (and in spite of) the pressures of process, it is important to celebrate.”
