We start with the first exercise, Conexion. In conexion I studied the line, area and volume. First the area in wich I learned about the conexions in Central Park, as its form it is the result of overlaying the roads of Central Park. We continue with the volume, there I experimented with the Space that the conexions create. Finally the line in wich I learned about the conexions in New York. I created an interactive model made of wood sticks, in wich if we overlayed all the sticks we could see the plant of Manhattan. So this First exercise worked for me as a way to analyze the system of my second exercise, The streets of Manhattan.
We continue with my second exercise, New York´s free city. Criminality in New York has decrease since 1991 but with that as well its essence. Manhattan was originated with strenght and recognition, but now we see a safe but boring Manhattan. So with this duplicate of Central Park in Manhattan we are going to create an counterculture that attacks the present of New York with the Copenhague style. New York´s free city will be organise as how the XIX Gangsters were put together. In New York´s free city there will be an alternative society self-managed with fights between groups but with principles as urban art, colaboration between neighbours and with cultural places, shops and bars.
