Street

Imagine a street that no longer needs traffic lights or traffic signs. A public space that allows both automobiles and pedestrians alike to share the road. Children laugh and play in the street, pedestrians cross where they please, and cars and bikes safely drive through to their destination (Hockenos). Although this street will not work in all instances it can and has been implemented before. In the Netherlands, a shared public space like this one is called a woonerf (Biddulph). This type of street can be found all over the world (Hockenos). The main goal of a woonerf or a shared street is to create a space that accommodates pedestrians and the community as well as controls traffic (Hockenos). A shared street is an idea that could change the…

could say to remind myself of the house I used to live in on Perry Street. Here memories were made and things about myself were learned.

When living on Perry Street the town seemed distant and massive to me, little Corey didn’t know how the world worked or how my life would continue after having so many experiences here and finally leaving. Since then driving down the street brings back…

When I think of my Italian heritage, the first place that comes to mind is the Ninth Street Italian Market in Philadelphia. I think of all the different family owned butcher shops, bakeries, specialty cheese shops, restaurants and more that have been in business longer than I have been alive. At one time, this outdoor market was an urban enclave in which mainly Italian and Jewish immigrants worked, lived and raised their families. Today, while this outdoor market has become diversified with…

To begin with, the entire clip is composed of jump cuts where the shots are abruptly cut. Each cut portrays a different scene tying into the general…

Being in a gallery has a different kind of tone while being in the galleries constraints, but outside in the streets, the constraints are taken off.

Graffiti: A Controversial Form of Street Art While walking down the city street with a friend you find yourself stopped at a crosswalk waiting for cars to pass by. As you are waiting, your friend points to a beautiful illustration depicting a meaningful message that was spray painted onto the side of an occupied building.

The culture around street art can be interesting in the fact that artists build their names and reputation with one piece of work at a time; sometimes when it starts to take over the city it…

In Street Fight, a documentary by Marshall Curry, we see how Cory Booker tries to win an election for mayor against Sharpe James in Newark, New Jersey. The things that shape this documentary is the campaign itself, the tactics the two used, and the people's reaction to the election. Their campaigns could be summed down to experienced leadership (Sharpe James) versus change (Cory Booker). James had been serving as mayor for sixteen years and has brought many changes to Newark. He has done good…
