My thesis, entitled Radicalization of the Spectacle, explores the intersection between the urban conditions of New York City, Times Square, and the notion of radicalization. The term ‘radicalization’ refers to an extreme change in worldly affairs. This term is critical in understanding my view of architecture, as it suggests architecture must formatively react to changes in culture, climate, politics, etc. Moreover, the term ‘radical’ is aggressively progressive and favors social reform performance, adding an urgency for new ideas to form. Secondly, the term ‘Spectacle’ refers to a visually and spatially arresting event that is dramatic in occurrence. The act of the spectacle is meant to captivate its viewer, providing a sense of awe and unfiltered stimulation. More specifically, through the parallel exploration of Radicalization and the Spectacle, social activism, art, and performance will become one. My thesis topic focuses on fostering free artistic expression through architecture. Through the use of architecture, the built environment can allow for creative endeavors and public discourse. The nature of architecture (and its authenticity) promotes importance and value to its user. As a result, the outcome of this thesis is a 25,000-square-foot machine that enables radicalized spectacles.
