Athens Riverine Living Museum & Education Center, Village of Athens, NY

Assemblage teamed with urban designer Kaja Kuehl of youarethecity to develop a comprehensive site design for Scenic Hudson and the Village of Athens that will adapt a former industrial warehouse into a public resource for contemporary and historic boats, education, and ecology. With the support of a Hudson Valley River Greenway grant, we envisioned a new future for a waterfront parcel that will support local momentum to create a center for maritime and riverine boat education in Athens. The design draws from the existing forest marsh to highlight local ecology and proposes new features to activate new access to the Hudson River.
