Using “solar harvesting” technology, a group of architects have proposed using an abandoned underground trolley station on Delancey Street in the Lower East Side. Supporters on Kickstarter have provided the initial $155,000 to create an above ground exhibit nearby the proposed location to help facilitate fundraising. Meanwhile, Columbia architecture students are completing a study to tabulate the actual costs of the subterranean project.
