Alternate Geography - Exploring Subway Infrastructure
Rather than viewing the subway as a space we pass through to get from point A to point B, what if we view it as an integral part of our social fabric? Edward Hsu is an architect and artist who invites us to reconsider the relationships between communities and the built environment through his work.
In his presentation of Alternate Geography, Hsu will lead us through the unique physical landscape and history that make up the neighborhood of Washington Heights in upper Manhattan. Using archival records, interviews, documentary photography, and 3D modeling, his talk will visualize underground transit networks through unconventional lenses. He will examine the ways communities perceive the role of transport infrastructure in the neighborhood and the city at large.
