FOUNDATION THE AIRPORT MANHATTAN TOM NGO
The Manhattan Airport Foundation is a company based in New York and aims to build an airport in Manhattan. This descongestionarĂa air traffic and reduce CO2 emissions by reducing the travel of passengers between the city and the airport. The site chosen
to move the airport is Central Park, assuming that the performance of the work on a larger scale than New York has experienced since the creation of the park in 1850. The company argues that public spaces are currently underutilized and should serve the interests of the community and redevelop areas where they are. They have a sophisticated
website where you can make a free member . From this call firms for the project is done and so far they have 72,926. They also solicit donations for the cause: for every $ 1000 of contribution can devote bank future airport. The foundation has called
a contest for the project and has invited internationally recognized architects. For now you can see 3D volume images .
Although the entire project is a joke (the company is registered anonymously and their offices are in a non-existent floor of the Woolworth Building), was convincing enough that the media already published, generating social debate.
If this be built, the largest green space in Manhattan would disappear between terminals and runways, and some of its most emblematic parts repositioned at some point inside the airport.
Despite the fear that people have about terrorist attacks by air from the 11s, nearly 73,000 people who have considered it a real project and have signed pro-airport.
site has gained considerable fame in recent days. The question that one can not help asking is what is the purpose of this entire campaign, or whether its creators intend to launch another business from here using the controversy as viral advertising.

Request Rent Reduction Sample
Tom Ngo explores through his illustrations of architecture of the absurd. On his website says he started with it when he found a box of watercolors in a garbage can. It also explains that uses the absurd as a theoretical tool that allows you to challenge the architectural conventions, inevitably tied to rationality and common sense.
Ngo says that, using different frames of thought, the architects would be able to create new solutions, far from the usual design decisions. Enabling solutions that normally would be discarded by its irrationality, absurdity provides nonlinear alternatives that challenge the contemporary logic.
Here are some of his works and translations of the brief description he makes of them. 1. A Monument for People With Small Arms 8

SLAVE CITY
City map
Slave City can be described as a sinister dystopia is both rational, efficient and cost (7 million euro net profit a year). The concepts of values, ethics, aesthetics, morals, food, energy, economy, organization, management and market have been reversed, mixed and reformulated to design this city \u200b\u200bof 200,000 inhabitants. They work 7 hours a day at the office, another 7 in camps or workshops, then allow 3 hours of leisure and 7 to sleep. Slave City is an eco-city self-sufficient and produce their own energy and recycles everything. So
us Atelier Van Lieshout this concentration camp technologically advanced seems straight out of "1984" or "Brave New World" .
Before entering Slave City and become a resident must pass through the Welcome Center. This building is where participants are selected for the convenience of their arrival and subsequent work. The elderly, sick and ugly are recycled into biogas. A healthy people and unwise it is processed in the meat factory. A very healthy young and allowed to participate in the organ transplant program. Healthy and intelligent people go to work in the city.
A Slave City dwellers do not get paid for their work, but in return they are granted certain privileges such as attending brothels. Workers in the brothel for the upper class, of triangular plan, you can choose between different types of pleasures. In contrast, lower-class slaves have less choice in Bauhaus style modular brothels.
This is where you educate slaves in the kindness and efficiency. The model above represents the Female Slave University and the University down the male slaves. The scheme is similar to students of employees: 7 hours of study, 7 hours of work in the field, 3 hours of leisure and 7 hours of sleep. These buildings are the only teachers who receive remuneration for their work.
