Augmented Participation

A new architectural species has been injected into Manhattan.  Short-lived and continuously evolving, these assemblies take form as light interventions throughout the city that speak to one another, and modify habitual expectations of urban individuals.  Each intervention is temporary, and with the passing of each species - or built spatial sequence - a new one rises from its ashes, taking on a new form and new ambitions, and relocating to a new context within the city.

Parts, pieces, and ideas from the prior iteration are given new life in this evolved form.  These species act as augmentations to common or unassuming programs, but implement their own hidden agenda: to unpack constructs we use to navigate our individual lives.

These species strive to activate our engagement with the environment and with each other, vivifying our experiences and proposing a new form of urban play: an architectural species that gives us pause, catalyzing an internal transformation of individual perception and engagement.
