CULTURAL PRODUCTION & CULTURAL REPRESENTATION

Cultural production means where cultures are made and utilized in physical ways, like food and churches. The urban fabric along the 7 train with residential and commercial functions creates a vibrant lifestyle. Cultural Representation means that culture is represented by iconic cultural buildings and public arts in the context of the landscape. These two findings and strategies run through our design.

When we combined our findings onto one map, we discovered that our site, Willets Point, is situated at the intersection of two systems. The cultural heterogeneity along the 7 line intersects with the iconic cultural system of Flushing Meadow Park. We have identified these two systems as the axes of cultural production and cultural representation, respectively.
