[Proposal]
NWE is an immersive space, a vision of the future.
Screens will render any environment of your desire.
An allegorical superstructure, it exists in an ambiguous state between physical spaces and visual representations; between active and passive perceptions. It is a blank space, a tabula rasa, with screens covering every surface; waiting to be activated by users.
FORM. The new proposed superstructure will cover Central Park in its entirety. It takes the form of a flat box with 3 levels, each level composed of identical rooms arranged in a 13×63 grid, dividing the rectangular site equally.
The gridded Cartesian structure ensures the homogeneity of space, creating a new landscape, a flattened terrain, a mediated horizon; a technological upgrade from the synthetic nature that had been Central Park.
SITE. Central Park: synthetically crafted nature; an unequivocal space of leisure intersecting with the world of labor; a conundrum of dwelling and ownership.
Nature is preserved in virtual forms; and in such forms, people will find leisure.
