Book Description
The site and subject of the gr(o)und workshop is lower Manhattan. Its underlying theme combines "ground" and the German word "Grund," referring to the foundation of ideas that give a rational structure to urban activity. The workshop designed and constructed new tectonic elements with the aim of making changes in the gr(o)und for a particular, brief period of time. The installation of these new elements in lower Manhattan on a hot, busy day in mid-August is documented and anaylzed.
