“Flowers
Not Towers”
What is the topic?
To get a park built in the Williamsburg/Greenpoint Brooklyn Area
Why did
you pick this? What do you want people to know about it?
I picked this topic because I think it’s important
to build parks instead of commercial buildings etc. Especially in these
neighborhoods, the population has drastically gone up and there aren’t a lot of
“green places” to go to. The area of where recently a storage unit has burned
down, has been claimed to be a promised park by city hall, but the ‘process on
the park has slowed down’ and residents are getting upset and frustrated.
What
would make a good monument/artwork to communicate your ideas on that Cause/Idea?
A tower, taken over by colorful flowers.
What
would it look like? What is it made of?
Three-dimensional installation of rectangular prism with the
measurements of (H 8 ft W 2 ft L 2 ft), skeleton of the tower would probably be
either chicken wire, or some kind of metal/wooden surface with netting so multi-colored
flowers have space to grow.
Where
would it be?
Where park is supposed to be near east river,
Willliamburg/Greenpoint Brooklyn New York.
Who is it
for? (Audience)
Residents of Williamsburg and/or Greenpoint.
Very good Dominika- so the topic is the lack of greenspace in your neighborhood- yes? You might want to find some statistics on this to include in the description. Also, think about how you can have some of the building structure still visible so maybe it looks like the flowers are overtaking the building little by little? Like we could still see the windows but flowers could be growing out and over them.
