DEVISED ON THE PRINCIPLE OF OPTICS: 

Pattern is an intrinsic aspect of human existence, meaning we actively seek to uncover new patterns, new realities, and new perceptions. Arguably there are no longer new patterns: only redefinitions of past examples. Through the dissolution of precedent and detachment from the recognizable, this thesis seeks to explore the falsities in the conventional. Upholding repressive infrastructure, existing patterns are remnants of unempathetic design. In order to correct this, living pattern employs the previously existing by utilizing its inherent qualities as a driver for formal exploration and creation.  Thus, resulting in a new ‘normal’ and perception of the habitual.  

Focusing on the redesign of transportation infrastructure within Brooklyn and the surrounding burrows a new method of public transportation is created: an antithesis to the MTA. Offering new potentials of what public transportation and public infrastructure can be. Utilizing pattern to break boundaries of what we understand in these contexts and what we use to orient ourselves in our surroundings. Illiberal infrastructure is discontinued as pattern resituates us within the context of our environment.
