Culture Collider
The design is an exploration into the integration of cultural experiences in the daily routine of New York’s citizens. The scheme revolves around the harnessing of cultural data and a subsequent mass customisation of art installations. To achieve this, the technology of web-based content filtering is turned upside down, in order to continuously provide users of the complex with personalised art stimulation specifically calibrated to provocate, learn and reflect.
In the final work, this logic is implemented on the north Brooklyn Bridge landing. The complex automotive nodal point is reworked into a more functional and humane pedestrian sphere. The new programme is combined with the existing site through a process of interweaving. The outcome aims to merge its physical framework with a virtual organisation, in order to create a dynamic cultural typology, that embraces constant change and motion.
