The building takes a different character as it faces the street life.
The building takes a different stance and character towards Manhattan, drifting away from the robust industrial character. Each building contains two massing that are separated by a cross pathway, but caressed by the jutting tangent roof.

PIER 37
WASTE TO ENERGY
Waste to Energy and Recycling Center. The project’s proposes to localize the collection and processing of waste and recyclables and incorporate a ‘Deep Diving’ pool facility to leverage the heat and energy byproducts of the waste-to-energy process.
The project takes on a schizophrenic characteristic between the waterfront (East River) to the street side (FDR Highway). The characteristics are expressed through form and material.
Five circular nodes are placed along the water edge, each shooting out a tangent roof line that dictates the form of the building.
