Manhattan, although an island, is very disconnected from the water that it’s surrounded by. The design of the HUDSON RIVERKEEPER aims to mend that relationship between the community and the water. This initiative is one that contributes to The Department of City Planning’s Vision 2020: New York City Comprehensive Waterfront Plan. This design exposes people to the realities of the Hudson River; the beauty, the tragic pollution, and the solutions.

One way to fully participate within the Hudson River’s complex environment is to develop a spatial-temporal formation that negotiates the real-time response of the system that helps generate it. This specific design encourages a shift in thinking; from what architecture IS to what architecture DOES. This design process allows spatial diagrams to guide the form, by challenging conventional norms of expression and prescribed interpretations of program. Perpetual feedback between analysis, intervention, and exchange with the environment time and time again challenges the building’s flexibility, therefore, increasing its overall potential for year-round activities.

This is achieved by constantly negotiating with three di!erent scales of feedback:1. Scale examining feedback between building and the Hudson River’s fluctuating tides.2. Scale between events schedules and the qualities required for the events to take place.3. Scale studying shifting scenarios that emerge on a daily, weekly, and seasonal basis.
