50 Years from now

As it stands now, the multiuse construct has an undulating surface that has swept in and begun to transform and take over the immediately adjacent buildings. In fifty years, this mutating and growing skin will overtake all five blocks running next to the Williamsburg Bridge. Space is transformed as this skin begins to envelop it. The transformation and growth of the skin is provoked by extreme heat and sun penetration. Over time, the skin breaks through the surrounding buildings and softens the structure, walls, and floors, leaving them bent, stretched, and sagging transforming spaces. As the years went by the intensity and severity of the forms drove many people away. An average person who wants a normal home squirms at the thought of inhabiting such a formation.
There is a certain type of people who have a connection to the absurd and extreme, the type who take pride in rejecting all that is rational and accepted as the norm. These degenerates paint their bodies with tattoos and obsess over where they will put their next piercing. The only thing missing from their lives is a home that gives the same visual effects as they do on the average person. A community of tattoo artists, piercing professionals, and freaks has embraced the formations created by the growing, mutating skin because it resembles their own ambitions of self inflicted segregation from society. The disjunction with reality readily felt when viewing the building is the same sense felt by others when they look at the people who live in this community.
