Contributor Schoonderbeek, M. (mentor) Rommens, O. (mentor) Hoekstra, F. (mentor) Faculty Architecture Date 2008-12-08 Abstract The City of New York is a stage that invites everyday people to become active, to play in it or to misbehave. The streets and its public transportation network are the stage, artificial light, special sound qualities in certain spaces and the presence of a potential audience the specific qualities of these urban stages among others. The audience is meant to be manipulated, to be intrigued into interaction. In the setting of Brooklyn Botanic Garden, a sequence of public spaces is created by experimentally folded traces of acts. The generated spaces are designed as stages with specific, enhanced qualities. Their architecture is a skin of an encountered act in NYC that was the inspiration for this space. The architectural result of this experiment is a landscape of pavilions that invites to experience space with all senses.
