"As one of the most pristine natural areas located across the center of Ithaca, Six Mile Creek contains fantastic natural elements that I decided to center my design on."
The Edge focuses on a renovation design for one of the segments along the Six Mile Creek in Ithaca, New York. The design promotes local transportation for both human and animals and implemented three additional natural programs: fishing, picnicking, and bird watching, which provide a new opportunity for locals to rediscover the beauty of the gorge and wildlife.
