Complete Project #3

alt.

My juxtaposition location was about a 5 min walk from City Tech. It was on Jay street and Myrtle. I am Juxtaposing the trees being reflected on light and the buildings in the background. There is a sense of repetition within the trees and the post lamps. I chose this location because it brought up the idea of having patches of nature throughout Nyc. It’s as if it’s forgotten or more like ignored. New Yorkers have adapted to a new way of living and they tend to ignore New York’s details.

One of the biggest distraction nowadays to us is … Read More...

Project 3 completed

To arrive here ,it’s a 5 minute walk. First you would want to come out of City Tech through the Tillary st. entrance. After that, take a right and walk down the block. Take a left and cross the street towards Jay st., when you pass by McLaughlin park , you will make it to City Tech’s midway building and look across the street and there it is. 

  This is a good example of juxtaposition because it shows two very different pieces of architecture which is the church , looking like it’s mostly made out of brick while we have … Read More...

Project 3 Completed

 

To get there from city tech, you will have to have to take the R train at Jay Street- Metrotech station to Dekalb Avenue or Atlantic Avenue. Or you can take 20-25 minutes to walk straight from the Jay Street entrance to Fulton street and then walk west until you get to Flatbush Avenue where you will walk southwest for approximately 10 minutes. This is an example of Juxtaposition because some of the buildings in this area are more modern than the others. The Barclays Center is a perfect example of juxtaposition because it juxtaposes the modern shops and … Read More...

Class Notes 10/29

What juxtapositions can we find in Saul Steinberg’s “View of the World from 9th Avenue” or “View of the World from 9th Avenue”?

we see City/Not City

In the City, we see cars, people (but fewer than we might expect), buildings, water towers, windows of different shapes, parking lot, awning, signs, mailbox, highway. No trees or nature.

In the Not City: multiple countries (Mexico, Canada, China, Japan, Russia) with no detail; Jersey has its own color and border; states and cities are jumbled up and wrong details if any details–not accurate

In this piece, Steinberg argues … Read More...

Juxtaposition project

To get to this place from city tech, you would walk down adams street towards johnson st. When reaching johnson st, make a left and go to jay street. Then make a right and you”ll find this old looking building. This picture shows juxtaposition by this old looking building being here and in the background a taller newer looking building. The material on the reddish, looking building looks way older than the material on the newer, shinier, blue building in the background. The older building at first was the Brooklyn fire headquarters before turning into a place for affordable housing. … Read More...

Homework Due 10/24

One article that supports my project is “Here, Poverty and Privilege Are Neighbors; Income Gaps Are a Source Of Resentment and Guilt BY Janny Scott. In the article, Jenny Scott states “The city  is etched with boundaries and borderlands that appear on no maps, areas where income groups intersect, overlap, collide, coexist– along lines drawn and redrawn by quirks on history, differences in housing stock, patterns of immigration and the economy’s perpetual rise and fall.” I agree with this statement because I feel like when people look at a city on a physical map or even digital map, they don’t … Read More...

Juxtaposition Project

This is a perfect example to represent juxtaposition. The juxtaposition here shows two buildings made in different years. The building on the left looks a little bit old meanwhile the building on the right looks newer. The contrast between these two buildings is totally different. The building on the left has more colors and the windows are more geometric but old. On the other hand, the building on the right has a solid grey color. The windows are skinnier and much taller than the building on the left. Also, the materials were made differently. As you can see the building … Read More...

juxtaposition project

From City Tech you would walk to The Supreme Court. From there would walk down Pierrepont St. past the Brooklyn Historic Society. There you wil spot a cathedral and a white building across the street from it. The juxtaposition is the old brick cathedral and the new marble building. The contrast between the two is that the cathedral is old fashioned and historic meanwhile the white building is more contemporary. It may be a house for someone to live in.
