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.

DOS FABRICA
Synopsis:
Dos Fabricas is an industrial structure that incorporates the two processes such as a recycling and waste to energy facility, together with an educational component of a public gallery. The juxtaposition between industrial processes that deal with garbage, and art combines high and low culture elements that brings a new perspective to what these facilities can be. Recognizing the future flood plains in the Brooklyn Navy Yards, the project welcomes the water into the site boundaries to create a new urban ecology. The building is also lifted from the ground to allow the various programs in the building to continue uninterrupted in the future .
