    BLDGBLOG: Without Walls: An Interview with Lebbeus Woods

    BLDGBLOG interviews avant-garde architect Lebbeus Woods about a sketch of New York where the East River and Hudson are dammed to expose a currently underwater new sub-world.

    Quoted: I wanted to suggest that maybe lower Manhattan – not lower downtown, but lower in the sense of below the city – could form a new relationship with the planet. So, in the drawing, you see that the East River and the Hudson are both dammed. They’re purposefully drained, as it were. The underground – or lower Manhattan – is revealed, and, in the drawing, there are suggestions of inhabitation in that lower region.
