Analysis of Interesection of Union Square West/ 14th Street

  

Focus: A unique area marked by both open space and clustered park benches and picnic tables

Two Types of People I Identified:

People-watchers

People hurrying by
What I sought to investigate:
  • To what extent do strangers pique people's interest?
  • Is there a desire for greater visibility that cannot be expressed outright?
  • If so, how might a designer create an experience that can potentially satisfy the curiosity and voyeuristic impulses of people-watchers?
  • Would immediately accessible pictures or photos (taken in Union Square) of a stranger or strangers command someone's direct attention?
