East
River Shoreline Pool
(Created in collaboration with
Enid de Gracia)
As Manhattan's waterfront becomes increasingly
park-occupied, the fact of the river water's decidedly
industrial quality becomes embattled. This project
foresees a structure of pontoons supporting a flexible
deck and, in a sling like that used for a stranded
whale, a pool containing purified water. The entire
structure moves with the wake of passing boats; swimmers
occupy the river, but in the safety of a latex liner.
