Description/Abstract

"The act of protest concerns me as a right that is gradually being excluded from public space in post-9/11 New York City. In response, I propose to design three spaces meant to enable and promote protest activity as a means to protect this basic freedom."

Event Space - Times Square

Symbolic Space - North Plaza of Union Square

Reform Space - across from City Hall
