The black line shows the activity of the cars, the yellow the previous roads of humans, and the white the new roads in connection to the library.
Aproach towards program
New york houses many different identities, and has been an important culture center for music, film, theatre and visual art.
Williamsburg in Brooklyn is an urban and poorer part of New York, where puerto ricans, poles, jews, italians, spaniards occupy different areas. Each culture has left their marks and traditions.
During the next years gentrification might change Williamsburg. The low rent, and the old industrial buildings has tempted artists to move to the area. Newcomers will move to the area, new demands, new business, new cultures will altogether create another city. Taxes might rise, and some people are not in position to pay a higher rent, and are forced to find a cheaper place to live.

Program - Constructing a structure
the relationship between program and form;
"... Most projects start with a program. First, you have to understand the program's intricacies, but also what you want to do with it. So you explore possible configurations and relations. I do not mean bubble diagrams here, but spatial connections or sequential routes. The quickest way to diagram it, e.i to conceptualize what you want to do with the program. There are many potential programmatic concepts. Sometimes that it; your programatic concept becomes your architectural form"

Gentrification;
To change a place from being a poor area to a richer one, by people of a higher
social class moving to live there.
Gentrification is a dynamic that emerges in poor urban areas when residential shifts,
urban planning, and other phenomena affect the composition of a neighborhood.
Urban gentrification often involves population migration as poor residents of a neigh-
borhood are displaced. In a community undergoing gentrification, the average income
increases and average family size decreases. This generally results in the displace-
ment of the poorer, pre-gentrification residents, who are unable to pay increased rents,
and property taxes, or afford real estate. Often old industrial buildings are converted
to residences and shops. New businesses, which can afford increased commercial
rent, cater to a more affluent base of consumers - further increasing the appeal to
higher income migrants and decreasing the accessibility to the poor. Often, resident
owners unable to pay the taxes are forced to sell their residences and move to a
cheaper community.
Political action, either to promote or oppose the gentrification, is often the commu-
nity's response against unintended economic eviction. However, local governments
may favor gentrification because of the increased tax base associated with the new
high-income residents, as well as because of other perceived benefits of moving poor
people and rehabilitating deteriorated areas.
