The Roosevelt Island Redevelopment Project, a competition entry prepared by Koolhaas and Elia Zenghelis, offers a more straightforward transformation of the city's architectural typologies. Four identical stepped blocks rise on the waterfront of the East River island. Between them run extensions of the city street grid bordered by low-rise "synthetic brownstones" with stoops, postmodern facades, and mid-block gardens. Seven monumental towers echo the dimensions of the grid.
