Hover Dam by Yheu-Shen Chua
Yheu-Shen Chua is at 4th year Malaysian architecture student at the AA. He will be graduating next year. He have worked in both architecture and engineering offices throughout.
The current public amenities of the world-famous Hoover Dam in the United States consist of a viewing platform, a bridge, and a gallery scattered around the entire site. This project aims to reconfigure these programs by merging them into a single vertical super structure.
One of the main purposes of the project is to allow the water from the upstream river to engage directly with the visitors through a series of containers. A hanging tower above the 700-foot drop into the Black Canyon would be used as gallery and a vertical aquarium.
