Description

The site and subject of the gr(o)und workshop is lower Manhattan. Its underlying theme combines "ground" and the German word "Grund," referring to the foundation of ideas that give a rational structure to urban activity. The workshop designed and constructed new tectonic elements with the aim of making changes in the gr(o)und for a particular, brief period of time. The installation of these new elements in lower Manhattan on a hot, busy day in mid-August is documented and anaylzed. - from Amzon
