The reimagined Power Plant will reveal and reanimate the majestic industrial spaces within its decommissioned shell. Boilers, silos, and turbine halls become post-industrial cathedrals reinterpreted for Gathering, Playing, Learning, and Lodging—supporting the park’s mission to create an inclusive, all-weather destination. Like Copenhagen’s Copenhill, the project fuses unexpected yet complementary programs with a strong community focus. Each structure’s unique form and framework are repurposed to create a vertical campus that extends activity from day into night, and across seasons. The Plant’s historic reliance on the Long Island Sound is reimagined for social, ecological, and recreational use. By editing rather than adding, the design reveals the beauty of 20th-century engineering while minimizing cost, effort, and waste.
