New Infrastructure of Circulation

The multicultural explosion of the community will now, not only be reflected in the people but also in the architecture. Instead of independent lots of spaces of use, I imagine them to be all connected and by this connection they enclose the urban development of the community district having a constant behavior of movement were a system of transportation is also an element that will break the limits towards a wide intense infrastructure that holds the city and maintains its continuity. Scale is important factors that will have a great effect, 50 years from now, Williamsburg will become so dense and full of architectural urban growth that, the presence of human scale becomes a small fragment of the hole, but an important one, sense it maintains the city’s constant transportation. So I imagine a community were circulation becomes an important factor that describes their entity as a hole; and the way that this contemporary circulation is held, that's the difference that will mark the community as an independent quality.

Your description sounds like Manhattan today - diversity, density, circulation, scale. What will be different in 50 years? Densifying brooklyn is an interested concept , but the results you are describing are too obvious. How could it be different, and how will your architecture steer it towards a different desired architectural and social effect?
