Roger Sherman, founding principal of Roger Sherman Architecture + Urban Design (RSAUD), designed the Parks and Rides proposal for the Long Island Index’s ParkingPLUS Design Challenge. The RSAUD team designed a super-scaled, family-focused, all-season recreational park in the form of a tipped-over Empire State Building, with alternating levels of parking and other uses, for a 30-acre lot in Ronkonkoma serving a major Long Island Rail Road station and regional airport. Sherman and team member Greg Lindsay, author of Aerotropolis: The Way We’ll Live Next, unveiled their design on January 16, 2014.
