Spending most of time on the Hudson River, we walked down the Riverside Park South and took the bus for a distance toward The highline. I took each photo representing 30 seconds to explore the experience of linear movement through urban spaces. The transect produces the same amount of distance with different intervals as the faster we travel the less time we can sense the sites. So what we perceived were the different sequences of spatial experience.
For the right column, it shows more continuous movement and details of the site context as we traveled through the city. The slower movement enables us to see the transitions for a series of arrangement and emphasizes the relationship of this and next. We can observe historical piers and old infrastructures as displayed objects, adding with the art installations inner site, creating the intervals of resting areas for transitions. On the other hand, the left column emphasizes the hierarchy and disconnection. What it matters is the various individuality and identity as unique monuments representing their own meanings and have nothing to do with one after another. The images show very different characteristic of different areas of each locations with different colors, openness, traffic and densities. So for me, it is like a series of movements making more unforgettable images and selective memory while apparently forgetting others, even though the those images' information do not matter.
The speed of the linear movement produces the variety of spatial experiences which can be taken into account for landscape design as a way to arrange what kinds of context we want to show pedestrian, biker and bus riders based on the different speeds. For slow movement, it could enhance the connection and transition between different hierarchies. Besides, it might create specific views or apparent objects arranged along the path of bike or bus visually.
