Another proposal for the Yonkers riverfront (worldarchitecturenews.com)

British architect Will Alsop offered local residents a first glimpse of the
Glenwood Power Plant regeneration project. Alsop's much anticipated first
project in the U.S. is set to revitalize a currently undervalued area of
waterfront in Yonkers, turning the abandoned Glenwood Power Station into a
vibrant mixed-use development. At the meeting Alsop presented renderings
and design concepts based on discussions during a community workshop held
in December 2006. Residents were invited to view and discuss designs that
include plans for a residential tower, art museum, public walkway along the
Hudson River and destination restaurant. By engaging with end users and
creating designs that embody their goals, Alsop believes the Glenwood Power
Station project will not only make a statement about what is important to
local residents but also represent the innovation and inspiration they bring to
the process.
