In a 45-minute-long meditative sound piece performed for an intimate audience on three consecutive mornings at the Top of the Rock, the Rockefeller Center’s observation deck, architect Andrés Jaque and his Office for Political Innovation invited spectators to sensorially experienced the interconnection of the city and the countryside, buildings and nature.

Set up 850 feetabove Fifth Avenue, in this epic achievement of the WPA era that offers sweeping views of Manhattan and its periphery, the performance examined the complex history of construction in New York.

Gathered at dawn, the audience was invited to “attune” with their environment and study the city’s skyline, from its early skyscrapers downtown to the rise of post-war glass towers and the more recent “pencil towers.”

En una pieza sonora meditativa de 45 minutos de duración interpretada para una pequeña audiencia a lo largo de tres amaneceres consecutivos en la azotea del Rockefeller Center, el arquitecto Andrés Jaque y la Office for Political Innovation invitaron a los espectadores a experimentar sensorialmente la interconexión de la ciudad y el campo, los edificios y la naturaleza.

Ubicado a 850 pies sobre la Quinta Avenida, en este logro épico de la era WPA que ofrece vistas panorámicas de Manhattan y su periferia, la actuación examinará la compleja historia de la construcción en Nueva York.

Reunidos al amanecer, se invitó a la audiencia a "sintonizarse" con su entorno y estudiar el horizonte de la ciudad, desde sus primeros rascacielos en el centro de la ciudad hasta el surgimiento de las torres de vidrio de la posguerra y las más recientes "torres de lápiz".
