The muscle that controls our exposure to every day experiences.
Troy, NY, a city situated across the Hudson River from the state’s capital. Downtown Troy needs more grocers, efficient public transportation, and public parks.
This multiuse proposal contains a market, terminal light rail train station to Albany, Bus stop, event space, winter garden, and waterfront park with subterranean parking.
The massing is derived from subtractive cones of vision that align with the urban circulation. Within these projections, the building does not occupy visual space. As a result, the building recedes from view and gives room for the condensed urban environment to breathe. River Street laterally cuts through the site in order to increase both Automobile and pedestrian circulation in the area, and give access to the long term Subterranean parking lot and the short term parking lot.
