Design Studio 7, RPI - HUDSON AQUIFERS

These are the digital visualizations from my final proposal for a theoretical deconstruction–reconstruction of the abandoned Albany Central Warehouse. Hudson Aquifers reimagines the site as a public, ecological, and infrastructural convergence that reconnects Albany to the Hudson River—long divided by I-87 and other boundaries. The project collects, purifies, and stores river water for distribution and disaster relief, returning the rest to the Hudson through an accessible, transparent process. In a city of monuments, this proposal asks: why not monument critical infrastructure? Why hide it from public access? The renderings explore these ideas through bold colors and playful geometries that invites one's curiosity.
