New York City // Vertical Pulse
New York City // Vertical Pulse interprets the metropolis as a vertical organism—an intricate network of motion, structure, and light. Part of the Urban Syntax series, it translates Manhattan’s relentless rhythm into pure geometry: a skyline distilled to energy lines and architectural cadence, where ambition rises in sync with the city’s heartbeat.
Artist Statement · New York City // Vertical Pulse
As an architect, I’ve always thought of New York less as a collection of buildings and more as a system of vertical forces—a living diagram of ambition, density, and light. Vertical Pulse translates that sensation into structure and rhythm. The composition reduces the city to its essential logic: rising columns of energy intersected by the rigid geometry of the grid. The golden core represents the kinetic current of Manhattan—the heartbeat that never stills—while the converging lines imply both compression and release, the constant negotiation between chaos and order that defines urban life. This piece is not a skyline in the traditional sense, but an elevation of motion, a study in how architecture becomes language when seen through rhythm and restraint.
