Kaaspad
Responding to the loss of the World Trade
Center, we investigated mechanisms for revitalizing lower Manhattan. Our guiding principle pays tribute to
mercantilism as a salve. What
better way to pay honor to a lost center of commerce than to return to
personal, interactive trade. We propose kaaspad, the infrastructure for a
cheese exchange in Washington Market Park. Located near the WTC, this park was the original site of
Nieuw Amsterdam’s butter, cheese and egg exchange. Our market is a path,
delineated with modern version of ancient drying racks. On market days, wheels of cheese fill
these racks, creating a protected space for interaction. Within items for sale,
certain cheese labels provide historic information connecting the earliest
markets of Nieuw Amsterdam with the subsequent markets and exchanges of lower
Manhattan.
