Invisible Chairs
Matt Ostrower, Real Estate Developer
Penn Station, New York.


Matt commutes through Penn Station everyday, I met him off his morning train. While waiting for him I noticed that there was a lack of seating in the station, making it inhospitiable to all types of transients. Matt and I talked a lot about the "ghost" of the old Penn Station, the design flaws of the new one and how it seemed to both encourage rapid movement through the space and confuse any sense of place. Principle was a lack of investment; emotional or financial.
