Anyone familiar with taking transit in NYC knows that the subway is part train, part office, and part theater.
It is our belief that we ought to engage with the random and rich collisions that can only exist in such a city.
As such our proposal for the new Red Hook Ferry Terminal reduces the architecture to a series of structural solutions, shelves of steel corrugate resting on thin pilons driven into the bedrock, shear supported by a network of galvanized steel wire.
The upper levels are enclosed with a ring of operable glass doors, with an open floor plan to support community activity.
The lowest deck rests on a layer of pontoons to rise and fall with the tide. A ring of theater lights shine on the center, creating a stage where anyone can perform for those who choose to engage.
