The Manhattan Transcripts Project, New York, New York, Episode 1: The Park
Bernard Tschumi
French and Swiss, born Switzerland 1944
1976-77
A gelatin silver photograph from Bernard Tschumi’s Manhattan Transcripts that stages urban scenes to argue that events and movement—not just form—define how architecture is experienced.
Part of a groundbreaking series that reframed architectural representation by making actions, sequences, and spatial contradictions the primary subject, influencing later conceptual and deconstructivist practices.
