Industrial Heritage Natural Waterfront Toes in the water. Ecological Resilience. A strong connection between mankind and his natural environment. Ability for animal and plant species to exist in harmony. Water drinkable, swimmable, fishable, enjoyable. Minimal obstacles and obstruction denying both man , woman, and all other animal species access to the East River

Chapter 1: Executive Summary
+
The Classic American Factory Town. Gritty. Bustling. Vibrant. Pullman but reimagined. Reinvented for the 21st century. Reinvented for the era of urban agriculture, sustainable energy-driven makerspaces. A cohesive, vibrant, and equitable work-life district. But more than that, a place to work, live, play, and grow together
Concept 8
Astral Waterworks
=
Nestled along the banks of New York’s East River lies Bushwick Inlet. A small bay that once served as home to the Canarsie people of the Lenape tribe and later on as the home base of the grand American Astral Oil Works. A small bay that now lies polluted and derelict. A relic of a bygone industrial era when New York was dominated by heavy manufacturing. Although also a site lying on the edge of mass redevelopment and demographic change. 7th Round proposes a reinvention rather than a blank slate. A renewal and a nod to the past. In the former ground that housed Astral Oil Works we now propose Astral Water Works. A ecologically and economically resilient work-live community for the 21st century. Where the lines between the natural and manmade are blurred and infrastructure/amenity become one. Where the buildings become farms and the water becomes park.

Site Purpose

Site Proposal
25
18
Site The site surrounds Bushwick Inlet Park jutting off New York’s East River. Kent Ave/Franklin St. cut directly through the site parallel to the old industrial waterfront that gives character to the site. The site occupies an area of roughly 2.2 million sq ft (50 acres).
Water New York’s East River waterfront runs along the entirety of our site and into the tidal Bushwick Inlet. To mitigate the undesirable effects of the water, a horseshoe-shaped aquatic history museum was submerged at the inlet’s opening. The inhabitable educational structure doubles as a biofiltration layer that safeguards the cleansed lagoon within. This allows the inlet to be a usable public amenity for any number of activities ranging from kayaking to fishing; thus allowing the water to serve as an additional park space. A series of manmade streams and constructed wetlands bring greywater through the site to a series of bio-retention ponds in the footprints of the old industrial tanks. From here, the water is retained and treated until it is safe enough to enter back into the lagoon and East River.
19 Chapter 2: Park and Building Purpose and Program
Site Purpose 20
Make To honor the industrial heritage of the site an element of economic stimulation, a series of independent makerspaces were the first structures added to the site design. These light industrial shops could serve as anything from microbreweries to digital fabrication studios.
Sell An on-site public marketplace allows the local makers and small business owners to sell their products to residents and visitors alike, creating an economically-just social landscape. The mixture of spaces of production and transaction allow the value-added elements of the supply chain to remain local and recycle capital back into the Astral neighborhood.
21 Chapter 2: Park and Building Purpose and Program
Site Purpose 22
Live The residential quarters are situated in the same structures above the makerspaces and marketplace. This optimizes the density of the neighborhood, allowing it to reach high sq footages of industrial, commercial, and residential space, while still leaving plenty of open space for parkland.
Grow A series of greenhouse agro-roofs covers the tops of the structures and allows a great variety of produce to be grown throughout the site. The produce from the sloped climate-controlled roofs is transferred down to the ground via a series of conveyor belts. From here the produce is able to be brought to and sold at the local farmers market.

Water is a critical component of the site design. It allows for goods to be barged in, provides a major attraction on the site and is essential to keeping the greenhouses operational. Therefore, conserving water here is a driving force in the design concept. As rainwater falls on the roof, it is used to water greenhouse plants and any extra is filtered further and sent to the fixtures. Water from the sinks, baths and washing machines is filtered and used to flush toilets. The toilet then flushes into the East River.

The story of Astral begins again... Since 1770, Astral has held an immense influence on this once-pristine plot of land along the East River. However that impact has shifted from a bustling place of production to a derelict place of pollution. But can the graveyard of Astral Oil Works be transformed into a place of rebirth, reconnection, and growth? Rather than shun the industrial heritage while favoring the natural history, would it be possible to synthesize the 2? We believe so. We believe that Brooklyn’s waterfront can serve as a place of production and a place to live simultaneously. Where infrastructure doubles as social amenity. Where the lines between urban systems are blurred into one.

Conclusion 138
...circa 2027 Astral Waterworks is a speculation on the future of urban systems and urbanism as a whole. A window into a future where raised supply chain transportation systems and fleets of semi-autonomous electric vehicles give the street back to the pedestrian. Where constructed wetlands allow natural processes to treat and transport water through intricate urban sites. The proposal starts a discussion on how some of these complex urban relationships can become more developed and harmonious in the future. For example: as many types of industry (especially those found in cosmopolitan cities like New York) become lighter, cleaner, and more sustainable, how can they be integrated with residential housing in mixed-use districts? How can work-live communities contribute to higher levels of sustainability through reducing commute times for residents? Is there a way to bring raw materials into such a district without adding too much large vehicular traffic and detracting from the pedestrian safety? After much research, analysis, and design, it also reveals the areas that Astral could adapt in order to solve further issues in the future. Could the proposal have taken advantage of the river more (as an unobtrusive transit route)? How could a more developed water system use natural processes more to reduce the energy burden from powering the pumps? However these are all questions that Astral could explore and experiment with in hopes of providing a model for a new perspective on the contemporary work-live district.
