Part of a studio project completed at GSAPP, Columbia University. The project was for a bank in lower Manhattan, that would ultimately expose the corruption and hypocrisy of its actions - ultimately asking “what does financial chaos look like within the city?” and “does it go unnoticed?” Programmatically the bank is a place of public, unregulated and institutionalized gambling, a kind of super-casino for the masses where you can bet against bank, or against other people and other institutions on matters of real life.
