The McMyler Crossing

Set along the Arthur Kill corridor, this waqf-based healing facility reclaims the McMyler Coal Dumper as a waqf-based facility for oil tanker workers moving through the logistical systems of global energy. Once a mechanism for transferring coal from rail to ship, the site is reoriented toward the care of bodies that now sustain petroleum transport along the Chemical Coast. Serving workers operating under C-1/D Visa restrictions, the project provides a space for temporary landing, ritual washing, and physical and mental recovery. The architecture stages a transition from extraction to restoration: heavy infrastructural elements give way to porous limestone, filtered light, and thermal bathing spaces. Structured as a waqf, the project establishes a permanent endowment for a transient workforce, offering care and relief within a system defined by constrained mobility and the continuous circulation of oil.
