great metropolises, frequently recycling generations of buildings in combinations apt the current place in time. This gives cities their linguistic distinctions and historical evolutionary certainty. As an architect is our responsibility to cultivate the process of urban autophagy, celebrate the fusion of old with the new.

eNGAGING tHE sUBNATURALS We usually refer to those aspects of nature that are desirable: sun, clouds, trees wind. These situations seem to occur in a pre-human condition that would remain to exist should all humanity and its concepts dematerialize. However, the most natural parts of the city are in fact experiences that only come into being through contact with people and the built environment: mud, dankness, smoke, dust, exhaust, gas, debris, weeds, insects, pigeons, crowds. While architecture often is designed particularly to distance us from these primitive, filthy, fearsome, and uncontrollable “subnatures,” the unavoidable reality of these conditions begs the question of whether and how we might invite a productive and harmonious relationship with them. ENGAGING SUBNATURALS is a renovation project for an existing toilet located next to the playground in a New York City waterfront park. ENGAGING SUBNATURALS blend in with the topography and become a part of a park, these continuous curved surfaces provide an easy access of public toilets for the users from the street as well as provide those users a sense of being in the subnaturals.
