Within the proposed vertical living contains a reflection on the nature of its differences: a collective assemblage of rotating volumes enunciates the directionalities of the city. Situated at the crossroads of Broadway and Columbus, the project seeks to create a moment of pedestrian wayfinding, experienced at the street level and in reactionary moments throughout the “Empire Residency,” showcasing to its occupants a theater of images of the city, complex of mixed city genotypes, constantly changing. Through geometrization of the site, a system of apertures, translucency and anthropomorphic skins, the vertical systems integrate to create an alternative method of experience at the human and city scale. The inventing of the inhabitable wall creates an architecture of cinematic relationships of the object and the subject. From the exterior, the residents are put in a visual duality with the city and the bystanders in reference to themselves.
