Gr(O)Und Workshop 2002

The site and subject of the gr(o)und workshop is lower Manhattan. Its underlying theme combines "ground" and the German word "Grund," referring to the foundation of ideas that give a rational structure to urban activity. The workshop designed and constructed new tectonic elements with the aim of making changes in the gr(o)und for a particular, brief period of time. The installation of these new elements in lower Manhattan on a hot, busy day in mid-August is documented and anaylzed.Woods, Lebbeus is the author of 'Gr(O)Und Workshop 2002' with ISBN 9783211006429 and ISBN 3211006427.
