The Astoria Park Pool is the oldest and largest pool in New York City. Over the years the facilities have slowly fallen into a state of disrepair. This project proposes draping the pool with a productive layer of algae tubes that purify wastewater, clean oxygen, and create bio fuel. The algae production augments the existing program in a reciprocal relationship that gives the pool a new life.
