First Buffalo Marin Park is an urban park projects designed by OLIN and Yadan was the project Landscape Designer. Located in the Outer Harbor of Buffalo, First Buffalo Park will be a brand-new public park, creating a new recreational destination for Buffalo residents. The Connecting Terminal on the site is Buffalo's first industrial grain cilo with historical significance. The focal point of the entire design is how to utilize its landmark status and create a matching landmark-style public park.
We have designed a series of programs, such as a public beach, forest walk, waterfront boardwalk, and Connecting Terminal Plaza, allowing residents to fully enjoy outdoor activities in the summer. Due to Buffalo's long winters, the park's functions are completely different in the two seasons. Public spaces and parking areas become on-land docking areas for yachts and boats in the winter, and the boardwalk transforms into a functional road. We designed a Rotatable Pavilion. In the summer, it provides shade as a pavilion, and in the winter, it can rotate 90 degrees to become a fence for yacht parking.
