Manhattan, although an island, is very disconnected from the water that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 Planningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

Veronica Acosta//Design Studio 1//Nicole A. Robertson//2011//Fall//Harlem Edge
One way to fully participate within the Hudson Riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flexibility, therefore, increasing its overall potential for year-round activities.

Veronica Acosta//Design Studio 1//Nicole A. Robertson//2011//Fall//Harlem Edge
This is achieved by constantly negotiating with three different scales of feedback: 1. Scale examining feedback between building and the Hudson Riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.
