description: Urban environments are constantly changing, energetic adaptive systems, comprised of networks of built elements and collective voids. Dissecting the nature of their attractive and successful qualities and using those characteristics as building tools can create a new system to influence the progression of the existing. This exploration is sited in the city of Manhattan, where movement and emerging designs are rapidly breaking ground, the focus becomes using the transformation of a dense city to the multitude of urban layers.
