[ITP: Feeling Patterns] Pattern Observation Week 5

Here are some more very New York patterns I observed this week. I just love these crazy car-parking-vending machines. They kinda remind me of apartments for cars. They create such interesting visual patterns and they also speak to a larger pattern of too many cars/people in a city with too little space.

From Maya Lin’s Vietnam Veterans Memorial Proposal

  • Names of all those lost in chronological order

  • “I had an impulse to cut open the earth”

  • Visitors reflected in the shiny granite

  • The beginning (1959) and end (1973) meet in the middle

  • Ties together the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, and itself

  • Make it“personal, human, and focused on the individual experience”
