Ferry departs at 2:15 PM Cost: $20, $15 for MAD Members Over the past few summers, Governors Island has emerged from its shadowy military past to become one of the New York City’s great outdoor public spaces. After years of debate and discussion, a plan has been selected that will transform the Island into a natural playground with high-concept landscape design and architecture. The new island, designed by the collaborative team of West 8/Rogers Marvel Architects/Diller Scofidio + Renfro/Quennell Rothschild/SMWM, will include free wooden bicycles for use navigating around the island, hills and caves for climbing and exploring, and a new ferry terminal for easy transportation to and from the big city. Rob Rogers and Jonathan Marvel of Rogers Marvel Architects lead a tour of the Governors Island of the future.
