On the passing two days, walking-around we had has taught the importance of color and spacial perception of landscape from various angles, while today we had passed rise another sensation to experience the landscape, sound. Normally speaking, this had not been the concentration on the list of consideration of landscape project, compared to color and narrative recognition. However, as another sense of five for a human being, hearing has been a wonderful tool to identify the object and calculate the distance, visualize the picture in mind, which extends the perception to another level.
Sound clip #1 was generated in Queens West Gantry Park. From it, sound of helicopter and wind take the majority of the sound wave and through them, the vision of one standing along the shoreline and looking at one helicopter took off from Manhattan is established and has been strengthened. It was taken after Tom told us the pier was meant to be the exit of ferry to pick up cars and people, but in fact they move to another block.
Sound clip #2 is taken when we were on the land of Brooklyn Grange Organic Range Rooftop Farm. From the sound clip, I could still feel my surprise about having domestic animals, like chickens, living in New York City, and one roof of the million ones. In another word, it is seemingly incompatibility on the contradictory that makes people have a cold feet at the first time and put hands to establish this farm, and it is the same thing that keeps all the founding partners to stick together and promote this idea into the fullest. Educational function serves as one of the promotional choices to introduce the sustainability on the land use and provide the prototype with rediscovery of the family and social significance on the communal table, that stranger would break the ice and pass the dinner dishes with organic greens right get from the cultivated land on the roof, then enjoy all the fun together.
By the way, it shared the similarities with the Gantry park on enhancing the vitality of communication among people in the same community. The difference is that Gantry park build up the dog run place. And owners can talk while dogs enjoy the play.
The third is taken when we are in the Green Thumb, aka Oko Farm. Aquaponics is one efficient cultivated form people has been used for thousand years in normal agriculture, but for urban farming, it has been of many interests to explore the feasibility and potential it can offer to the program. Now it maybe cowered in the corner try to fit greenhouse and other facilities together, but the future of this program can be potentially develop to the scale of roof farm and urban farming as the Brooklyn Grange Organic Range Rooftop Farm.
