“Muck Fabrics”




The fabric of Willets Point in Queens, New York is interwoven with a massive automobile repair and salvage community. Within the community they renegotiate their relationship with muck - dirt, rubbish, or waste matter.

This is a ‘speculative’ vernacular resilient framework to create a catalyst for community-driven development and closed system resources from the site. Reevaluating aesthetics and framing a language that is born from the neighborhood. The project works together to make the fabric of the community ‘muck’-like yet ‘livable’ and ‘resilient’.
