Today's citizen navigates a vast society engaged in the explicit of wealth and implicit creation of risks. Each transaction inhere es both wealth and risk within the system. In 1986 Utrich Beck explanation for this emerging post modern condition. His work, Risk Society: Towards a New Modernity, sketches the outlines of a society the management and reduction of risk. Beck recognizes that a reach a point where efforts to increase wealth will be supersede to avoid risk. The organization of society will shift from the pro distribution of goods and services, to the redistribution and r risk. Through play activities the RISK COMPLEX will prepare cit risk society. The RISK COMPLEX seeks to provide a space that empowers the individual within the complicated web of risk connections. Visitor to the RISK COMPLEX learn about methods and technologies that allow their individual risk. In the same way a child uses play to simulate ... empower individuals within the Risk society. Sited on Coney island the RISK COMPLEX taps into historical plays cape that include the beach and boardwalk. The architecture links to the existing amusement infrastructure but seeks to carve out a seperate matrix of simulated risks that individuals can engage. by Luke Voiland.
