Walking on 14th Street in Manhattan, I started noticing certain things, changes and transformations that were happening from East to West. The West side of 14th street seemed to have been completely transformed, gentrified meant only for people who can afford it. The East is not yet but seems to be going through the process… Which led me to try and understand what a city is and how to somehow stop, or at least slow down this phenomenon. What I am proposing here is a trades school that comes inside the shell of the Con Edison plant on East 14th street. It takes what is “orderly” transforms it into “chaos” on the inside to give it back to the people and generate a new kind of power.
