Coney Island and its famous shoreline neighborhoods define the southern edge of Brooklyn in this modern topographical study. The densely built residential blocks of Bensonhurst, Gravesend, and Brighton Beach are punctuated by a high concentration of religious and educational institutions, including Yeshiva Karlin Stolin and the CUNY Kingsborough Community Coll campus on the eastern tip of Manhattan Beach. The landscape is a complex intersection of urban grid and maritime environment, where the Belt Pkwy arcs around Gerritsen Creek and the Paerdegat Basin.
