BK-01: "Un-Sheduled" by Al-Hamad Design
There is nothing new under the old sun. Although things do come and go, what makes those things do not. New York’s sidewalk shed is so highly defined in its physical construction and in its symbolism to the piece of land it defiantly stands in front of. It laps up the notion that it is literally supporting proof of current change; a figure of progress and metamorphosis. New York has always adapted, imagined, and followed through; it thrives on this rapid strife for evolution, for non-stagnation. New York is thrilled by rapid movement. It can’t stop swimming upstream, especially if it couldn't.
We fall in love with its constant disappointment because it is simultaneously a tremendous source of surprise. Aren't we? Deeply in love with it.
The sidewalk shed gives us no promise or certainty, but neither does New York. That is why we live through the discomfort of it all—discomfort motivates and pushes us. It makes us care. This simple shed brings out emotion like no other object in this great city can, and it is everywhere. Often an accidental shelter, it may be terrifying, or perhaps even annoying. Yet it is a sign of prospect; it is a human being trying her very hardest all on her own.
