Type
The aim of the project is a contextualization
of New York city’s evolution based on a
relation between ideological coordinates and the actual social-political dynamics,
starting points of any future vision.
The graphic propose as a newspaper article
presume a certain historical date as
a free
hypotesis by the reader. Dates are free omitted by the author in order
to present an extreme prototype of one of the countless possibly evolutions of
the city, free from realistic dates or effectively realization assumptions. By
using a literary character as the journalistic storyteller any references are
denied to an effective future (no matter how possible it might be or not) in
order to present the project as a simple idea.
Pushing to the limits the actual opposite
social strengths a contrast-based society came out, where all lives someway in the alchemy of this possible
social experiment. The absence of any certain references and the extreme social
evolution push the society to maybe provocative solutions, reflecting the total
absence of any orientation by leaders and organizational structures of the
occidental societies. In this future of missing prospective and for
his historical driving-force position, New York became the most extreme experiment, trying to
set up a possibly global development. From this uncertainness rise this society
where the excessive urbanization and immigration brought the city to a social
collapse.
In the hypotetical future projected the
ecologist social components has taken the power and organized an army occupation of Manhattan island in
order to realize their ideal society. The development of this project divide
the city in 3 macro functional areas: UP – OLD - DOWN HATTAN by the
realization of an organizational-functional-social
structure. UPHATTAN reproduce the main
formal architectural icons of the island (the avenues-streets grid and
the skyline) in order to create a representatively future element of the city
(the skynet). OLDHATTAN is the city previously known as Manhattan, collapsed
down a no-stop flow of tourists and immigrants, where the huge old architectures
are just decadent ruins to observe, empty of any functions except the
residential one. An object to preserve and observe like a time capsule of an
old civilization reduced to be just the icon of itself, whit the only functions
of agricultural production, naturalistic development and lifestyle expression of
the citizens. DOWNHATTAN is the exactly upside down skynet, used for energetic
production, gather and distribution.
The final result is an organized chaos, main
feature of anytime Manhattan, pushing the social development to his extremely
highs, giving us an hypothesis of a possible future where the presented solutions
(how good or bad they could appear) are just represented as the simple result
of this human mix that New York has always been. If something went wrong, someone
should noticed times before. Now the only thing that is possible to do is to
close eyes, take a deep breath and live.
