The Beacon River Pool, designed by Adjunct Associate Professor – CCE of Graduate Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Urban Design Meta Brunzema, has provided recreational swimming access to people along the Hudson River for nearly twenty years, according to the Times Union. “To reflect the ‘project’s inclusive socio-ecological ethos,’ Brunzema said, [Pete] Seeger proposed a rainbow color scheme. Designing the pool proved ‘enormously challenging,’ she said, because it had to meet extensive environmental and public safety regulations while accounting for tides, wakes, salinity and turbidity.”
