Entropy in Landscape —— Reimagining South Bronx through Urban Rewilding

Firm LocationKansas City, United States

Lead ArchitectXinran Ma

Rikers Island and the South Bronx are embedded within New York City’s vast infrastructural network of production, circulation, and containment. Correctional facilities, factories, freight corridors, and Hunts Point markets operate with machine-like intensity, placing continuous environmental and social pressure on surrounding communities. Grounded in Rikers’ anticipated closure, this project reimagines these contested territories through the gradual return of spontaneous human–ecological interactions.
