Complexity and diversity are some of the attractive elements of urban centers, which are seen here as the main node for most of the systems that operate in the city. In this project I tried to increase this complexity, and the paradoxical situations that are often created ,by weaving a third system between the existing nodes of infrastructure (highway-subway) or, by an other reading, the in between space of the fragmented tissue. My strategy for creating a stronger identity for Brooklyn and to activate its downtown, uses the analogy of a 'seesaw', where the system of two places linked, is "playing" with the balance changes caused by different activities and temporary events The "site" is located at one end of the Brooklyn bridge; in the other end lies the civic center of Manhattan. In great proximity to the civic and commercial center of downtown, which composes one side of the seesaw construction, there is an abandoned warehouse district, which besides being next to the waterfront and having the patina and the architectural qualities of its kind, is interesting mainly because of the enormous scale changes which occur by the superimposition of the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges over the existing tissue creating a place of high contrast. This area has the potential to become the other side of the seesaw so that its two sides would be: Fulton Mall, the commercial center and the Dumbo, the rust belt. Working towards this idea, I focused on how to create the connection. The main strategic moves for that are: re-arranging the highway system so that only local traffic goes through the connecting axis, Adams street, (which is also the main street of the civic center), and adding an elevated parkway that is formed and used according its varied context. The probes that I have chosen are the two edges of this axis Or a highway node and a subway node Or the main square of Brooklyn civic center (formal stage) and the space created at the intersection of Brooklyn bridge and BQE express way(informal stage).
