Infill ININ section through the Bronx showing the possibility of splitting the linear infrastructure into multiple massings

The South Concourse in the Bronx is poised to see a boom in development as towers are being planned along the waterfront. Assuming an upgrade to an R-9 or R-10 regulation, the district would see a sharp contrast between high density and low walk-ups. Because the site is between contexts and on two sets of railways, the two housing bars adapt and blend each zoning classification.

The challenge of creating a pair of studio apartments that can fill a lifted 16'x16' void necessitates the creation of a quick, mobile, and opportunistic building system that can react to the found conditions of the site. Access to the site is limited and the ground must be free.
QTCT is tasked to blend these two identities onto one site—a give and take relationship between beach ambitions and urban necessities. QTCT is a sampling of two worlds: on one hand it is the embodiment of the language of the beach and on the other it is a detailed and exacting built urban space.
The RACA project must meet two demands: A. REFLECTION (museum) or B. CONTINUATION (practice + addition). The current program and its stagnancy has left the site forgotten—it is a typical static museum on a living site. The site and addition must constantly change through the participation of people.
