This studio proposes locating a waste-to -energy, recycling, ferry terminal,and event /recreation space in the 4 boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Bronx. Focusing on what a new aesthetic of new industrial building would be, the potentiality of curves as an idea, the “softness” of curvature and “hardness” of the machinery and how these two terms can interact with others is explored. In this process “Serpentine Pavilion” and “Transformer Tower” were looked at as precedents. A moment in which all layers of the process of recycling merge together,and finally, the crane ejects out of the facade to express itself is created. to represent the idea and to reveal the machinery, translucent materials like ETFE or PTFE has been used.
