About
Designer
My name is Carlos T. Acosta Pérez. I'm a Puerto Rican native with a Bachelor's in Environmental Design from the University of
Puerto Rico and an M.Arch Graduate from Pratt Institute. Currently, I'm living in New York City & an Adjunct Faculty Visiting Professor at NYIT School of Architecture. My approach to architecture and design generally focuses on speculating and questioning the purpose of the artifacts and spaces surrounding us, using alternative materials and fabrication methods that better reflect on being environmentally responsive and adaptable.

CONERSTONE
Synopsis:
Our site in the Brooklyn Army Terminal has a particular asset to deal with when facing context & location. While the coast is heavily controlled by the Industrial factories, a big community lies behind it. Largely made by Asian and Latin demography, sunset park host a diverse community that’s overlooked. This makes our site a keyspace to embrace the connection between these two typologies in one place. Thus the project corner-stone. A cultural center, and harvesting facility that accommodates recreational spaces for the communities to manifest their cultural needs while providing jobs that reflect the demography. It provides open areas that embrace developments of markets from the communities, recreational activities, areas to fish, and land for harvesting. All taken out of what the community is trying to establish in the space.
