The waterfront park consists of four-mile strip (330 acres) of land (stretches
from 72nd to 158th Street) resting between the Hudson River and River-
side Drive in the Upper West Side of Manhattan. The park was original
constructed in 1846. Frederick Law Olmsted, whom also designed Cen-
tral Park, designed the landscape for Riverside Park.

grant’s tomb
Located in Morningside Heights overlooking the Hudson River, General
Grant National Memorial is the largest tomb in North America. Grant’s
tomb is final resting place and a memorial to the life and accomplishments
of General and 18th President of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant. John
Duncan was the chosen architect of the design competition that was held
for the design of the tomb. The building was opened in 1897. The tomb is
constructed from 8,000 tons of granite with marble floors.

manhattan school of music

founded in 1917 by Janet D. Schenck a pianist and philanthropist. It is
located in Morningside Heights between Grant’s Tomb and Columbia Uni-
versity. The Manhattan School of Music is considered one of the most
prestigious conservatories of the study of music in the world. The campus
was the original home of the Juilliard School.

columbia university
founded in 1754 as King’s College, and was first situated near where the
World Trade Center now stands, and later at Park Avenue and 49th Street.
Work began on its present campus in 1897, on the site of what had been
New York Hospital’s Bloomingdale Insane Asylum. The McKim, Mead and
White campus, with its stunning Beaux Arts marriage of bricks and mar-
ble, will make you nostalgic for every school you ever attended, and give
you plenty of clues as to why Morningside Heights sometimes gets called
‘the Acropolis of Manhattan’.

why sakura park?

Sakura Park was chosen to be the thesis site because of the dense cultural
institutions surrounding the site. The site acts as a communal ground for
social, cultural, and political venues. The site is situated around religious,
residential, educational institutions, public parks, and the Harlem and
Morningside Height communities. The site borders the neighborhood of
Harlem, which has very strong cultural history. It sits within close prox-
imity to Columbia University, which reinforces the notion of education
and also borders the Manhattan school of Music – which takes scholastics
towards music. Situating the R.E.C. Orphanage in an environment which
many activates (Arts, performing arts, scholastic studies, dining, and ath-
letics) take place within close proximity to the children’s daily routines is
important in integrating the orphan youth within society, rather than iso-
lating them as the traditional orphanage had done. As suggested earlier,
the orphanage facility can only operate if it is set within a larger social
framework within an urban city. Children have been described as nomadic
in nature, creating a structured environment, which allows for their sens-
es of creativity to play out while also creating a sense of home, educa-
tion, and a sense of inclusion within society. The urban site must allow
for openness for youths to participate and engage the city and for possible
opportunities for social engagement with their community or programs
such as the ‘Big brother, big sister’ program; while also creating moments
of privacy and protection from intruders or negative influences. This site
will provide an active environment that will allow the children to work
on their social skills with each other, the urban environment and society.

Cultural benefits in having the site in this location:

-Density of interaction amongst people.
-Columbia University, Riverside Church, Grant’s Tomb, parks (Riverside
Park and Morningside Heights Park), cafes, libraries, shopping, commerce,
farmers markets…many opportunities for social and cultural interactions.

 site description
Sakura Park is an extension of Riverside park (four-mile
strip - 330 acres of land) which stretches from 72nd to 158th
Street. Both of the parks are set along side the Hudson
River and Riverside Drive in the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
The neighborhood’s border is defined by a strong topographi-
cal presence. Morningside Heights has been described as the
‘acropolis’ of the Manhattan, as it sits upon a plinth. The plateau
that Morningside Heights sits upon starts from the south and be-
gins to rise at 110th Street where it begins to peak around 117th
street before descending to the north of Morningside Heights.
The rectilinear site (450’ north-south by 200’ east-west) sits upon
a base that is made up of a massive buttressed retaining wall
built on the eastern side of the park along Claremont Avenue.
There are five entries to the park, with two of those entries mak-
ing the corners of the park with grand staircases. There are two
elevation changes along two sides of Sakura Park (the south and
west sides of the park). There is a twenty-foot elevation change
starting from W. 122nd Street slopping downward to Claremont
68
Avenue (east). The second slope drops 14 feet from south corner of the site to north along
Claremont Avenue. From the top of Riverside Drive (where Grant’s Tomb is located) there’s
an elevation change downward of 130 feet to the beginning of the riverbed. Morningside
Heights is somewhat isolated from other neighborhoods because of the topographic situ-
ation.
The four major buildings surrounding the site (Grant’s Tomb, Riverside Church, Manhattan
School of Music, and the International House), two of which have frontal facades facing
the park. The International House (along the northern-tip of the site) and the Manhattan
School of Music’s (along the east side of the site) entrances are perpendicular to the site.
The entrance to Grant’s tomb runs south to north, and the entrance for Riverside Church
runs from west to east.
Urban fabric along Claremont Avenue is made up of row housing, with the Manhattan
School of Music marking the corner at W. 122nd street and Claremont Ave. There is an
eight-foot datum line running along the bottom elevation of the Claremont Ave. clearing
marking the first floor level. From the top of Sakura Park, looking towards the elevation
of Claremont Ave., the base of the park datum line, lines up with the bottom of the third
storey on the Manhattan School of Music’s elevation.
