A conceptual proposal prioritising issues like rising sea levels and affordable housing in New York City hoping to make the building accessible to a more diverse range of occupants. The proposed location would be on Manhattan’s Pier 40, which extends about 250 meters over the Hudson River. The Pier is currently in need of repairs and functions as a football field and car parking facility. DFA’s design was influenced by the Pier’s recreational use. The design includes 19 cylindrical towers which would range anywhere from 96 to 455 feet in height. The towers would be organized in 11 groups and be reinforced by plenty of steel. The complex would also have several pods floating around the Pier to provide a buffer to protect against potential storm damage.
