The Crater is an underground ferry terminal and transit hub on the Lower East Side. It occupies a new space in the city - the space between Subway and ferry, ground and river, public and private.

I wanted to integrate the density and storefront culture of The Lower East Side into a piece of urban infrastructure. I wanted to more fully integrate commercial activity with the infrastructural city. By extending the existing subway platform across the site, I link the subway to the new East River Canal and terminal. This extended platform serves multiple transit modes, performs as a public space and creates income for the city and adjacent building owners.

Hilarious New York

Loop of interplay between light and dark infulencing the percept, results in mobility of an architectural program

The content of an urban environment within the neighborhood next to Delancey underground is higly diverse. Programms inhabitting that spaces may vary from brothel to school, therefore collective actions taking place in that neighborhood could be defined as normal at the mean time as completely inadequate in terms of being socially acceptable. These diversities packed within that neighborhood continuously trigger events happening independently from grid. The Continuum of collective acts happening over the time resembles a brownian motion; an oscillatory movement of particles of a system. The latter is also a physical specificity of the site; the oscillation caused by the traffic and by the subway encloses the site. Actually and metaphorically could be stated that the act of oscillatory motion is an accumulator of an energy. Taking into account big and small scale variables within the site the project is also designed to be an abstract embodyment of the naighborhood’s past and the present. The space-creating variables of this design are two continuous surfaces, with different treatments, serving as two opposite percepts based on the lighting conditions. The characteristics of the spaces created by those surfaces changes based on the lighting conditions and fits opposing programs during the time. Two parametrically designed surfaces overlapping with each other create variety of cave-like spaces to fit the diversity of events and program-contents that the neighborhood offers.

Persistence of Vision: Collage and Motion

The concept of cinema is not foreign to anyone: our brains and eyes register a stream of still images in a sequence and we perceive motion. This optical illusion is known as phi phenomenon; information that doesn’t exist is being supplied (what happens in between frames) and the illusion of motion is created. Many artists use this phenomenon as a baseline to experiment with our understanding of space, time and motion. The work of David Copithorne (top) looks at sequence and motion and how it registers time and 3 dimensions in a static frame. The work of Polish graphic designer Franz Falckenhaus uses duplicity and scale to examine how the brain attempts to make a logical connection between image and motion.

An inversion of this experimentation is motion is the Thaumatrope. Motion is used to combine two static images into one. This illusion is produced by taking advantage of a different cognitive phenomenon called persistence of vision, by which the eye produces and afterimage on the retina.

Mike Golden of DBox talks with Under Over Out Studio

Next in the studio’s mini-lecture series was Mike Golden, video and animation expert. He gave a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the video for HWKN’s winning PS1 entry: Wendy. Besides bestowing priceless technical advice, Mike gave a screening of the videos that inspire him which is always a treat for a room full of young designers.

Why People in Cities Walk Fast

Why People in Cities Walk Fast:

darrylzuk-eim:

Late last week our own Richard Florida wondered on Twitter whether pedestrian walking speeds might indicate a city’s economic activity — reflecting some sort of “urban metabolism,” as he put it. Turns out there’s a rather long history of research into the speed of walking in cities, and that the evidence reveals, among other things, a strong connection between fleetness of foot and fatness of wallet. Call it a sign of the Cantering Class.

Under Over Out Studio Newspaper

In an effort to raise community awareness and involvement the studio created a newspaper hand-out and distributed 1,000 copies at the Delancey Street Subway Station. The newspaper included a postcard image of each project with a brief description. The community was invited to visit the studio blog and weigh in on the student’s proposals for the Delancey Underground.
