architect project manager design visualisations research
This project for Studio Border Conditions is focused on the area of New York. The research started with a fascination you want to research about. Mine was the underground scene in New York. But instead of taking the contex of the underground scene in the art scene or music scene I took this literally by going underground, to the New York Subway stations. In these areas happens streetperformances done by artists who are expressing their art to the public. Art expressions like dance, music or just entertainment performances. These performances are based on temporary time, unexpected and suprise and done on locations which are not really made to perform. But just because of these elements of suprise of these performances they are creating a transformation of space they are happening. My research is focussing on the architectural and sociological elements of these performances mainly what this transformation is and the effect on the area and on the people. For this project this research will be done by making mappings to be nally the base and inspiration for the development of a building.
