Will Alsop’s Latest Project

Will Alsop, the British avant-garde architect is setting his sights on transforming a long-unused power plant along the Hudson River in Yonkers,
New York, into a sweeping residential complex featuring a museum,
restaurant, and park.

The Architectural Record writes:

The hulking 80,000-square-foot power plant will lose its two smokestacks and gain a large residential tower.
A third of the 400 units will be luxury condos and the rest rentals,
with some reserved for low-income residents… The $250 million project
also calls for adding a contemporary art museum, located in a former
switch-house, and a new apartment structure, nicknamed the “magic tower,” with a boxy upper portion balanced on tentacle-like stilts.
