THE people’s playground

MIT Core 2 | Spring 2018 | Professor Christoph Kumpusch

Preemptive studio competition to design a pool complex on our site in Coney Island, NYC. Competition diagrams and plans for a program designed using da Rocha’s Club Paulistano as precedent, and centered around accentuating and enhancing Coney Island’s field condition of difference and fantastical image.

“Coney Island takes its true form as a collection: a community that weathers many storms together; that is simultaneously of one type (resident) and another (transient); and that seeks to define its own future with pride in its past.“
