activity 7 Daniele Nicolosi

I visited Chase Manhattan Plaza . I was unaware it was under construction before i planned on going there. It was a beautiful plaza. Since its closed off with caution tape and danger signs, only the stairs were accessible to get in and out of the building. The only people there were the office workers who entered and departed from the building. The plaza part that was closed off had sporadically planted trees and many circular benches for people to sit. There was an interesting tall sculpture in the plaza which was in relation to a different tall interesting sculpture across the street.

Anyone could have came in. For instance, i didn't notice the stairs that lead to the plaza, so i went through the building, took the escalator upstairs, passed the security desk and went outside into the plaza. I felt slightly out of place sitting on the steps as the office workers passed through me. If it was any normal circumstance, i could imagine that plaza being filled with people socializing and enjoying each others company, especially because the weather was beautiful the day i went.
