DAK Program

Political Issue:

I started by picking as a political issue the debacle the stock market suffered last week. As the market tries to recover from its worst week in nearly five years, investors will be looking at profit reports from such heavyweights as General Motors Corp., Procter & Gamble Co. and Verizon Communications Inc. In Asia, shares slid this morning after U.S. stocks suffered a second day of heavy losses last week on worries that companies were facing tighter credit conditions, and uncertainty in global equity markets drove up the yen. The stock market will also get a read on U.S. consumers Tuesday, when the Commerce Department reports on personal income and spending. According to the median estimate of economists surveyed Friday by Thomson Financial, June personal income is expected to rise 0.5%, up from a 0.4% gain in May, while spending is expected to edge up 0.2%, less than May's increase of 0.5%.

Site:

Wall Street Manhattan

The are a couple of reasons I choose the site. As I went back to my development of the joke and later in the process of construction of the model and the creation of the movie which was referenced to a play by Shakespeare “ Measure for Measure” I discover four issues: Enemy-Enclosure-dark spaces – Bribe. While I was try to discover a site for my program I found that wall street has the most narrow streets in Manhattan and is full of enclosed spaces that they are created by the high of the surrounding buildings. The name of the street derives from the fact that during the 17th century, it formed the northern boundary of the New Amsterdam settlement. In the 1640s basic picket and plank fences denoted plots and residences in the colony. Later, on behalf of the West India Company, Peter Stuyvesant, in part using African slaves, led the Dutch in the construction of a stronger stockade. By the time war had developed with the English, a strengthened 12 foot wall of timber and earth was created by 1653 fortified by palisades. The wall was created, and strengthened over time, as a defense against attack from various Indian tribes, New England colonists, and the British. In 1685 surveyors laid out Wall Street along the lines of the original stockade.[5] The wall was dismantled by the British in 1699.
So until now I have cover the first three issues and Was left whit bribe.
By definition Bribe is the gift bestowed to influence the receiver's conduct. It may be any money, good, right in action, property, preferment, privilege, emolument, object of value, advantage, or any promise or undertaking to induce or influence the action, vote, or influence of a person in an official or public capacity. It is a form of political corruption and is generally considered unethical. In most jurisdictions it is illegal, or at least cause for sanctions from one's employer or professional organization.
We know wall street is the capital of the financial world so all the above issues reflect this site.
The site is located in the corner of Broad street and Exchange Place across from New York Stock Exchange and Federal hall Memorial. The area is surrounded by banks and financial companies and institutions.

Program:

A Bank with Vaults – prison

The idea came after the study of the model, joke, and film. I will design a bank with vaults which they will become prison cells when the people deposed their money. The main focus is that people become prisoners of their money without enjoy the simple things life has to offer. Money play also a major in every government which has results to the people. (wars, poverty, crime, etc).The building will be attached to the outer skin and beetween the two building in the corner of Exchange pace like a parasite or a virus to a cell.
