Charging Bull, which is sometimes referred to as the Wall Street Bull or the Bowling Green Bull, is a bronze sculpture that stands in Bowling Green Park in the Financial District in Manhattan, New York City. Originally guerilla art, by Arturo Di Modica, its popularity led to it being a permanent feature.DescriptionThe 7100lb sculpture stands 11ft tall and measures 16ft long. The oversize sculpture depicts a bull, the symbol of aggressive financial optimism and prosperity, leaning back on its haunches and with its head lowered as if ready to charge. The sculpture is both a popular tourist destination which draws thousands of people a day, as well as "one of the most iconic images of New York" and a "Wall Street icon" symbolizing Wall Street and the Financial District.In Outdoor Monuments of Manhattan: A Historical Guide, Dianne Durante describes the sculpture:The Bulls head is lowered, its nostrils flare, and its wickedly long, sharp horns are ready to gore; it's an angry, dangerous beast. The muscular body twists to one side, and the tail is curved like a lash: the Bull is also energetic and in motion.The bronze color and hard, metallic texture of the sculpture's surface emphasises the brute force of the creature. The work was designed and placed so that viewers could walk around it, which also suggests the creature's own movement is unrestricted — a point reinforced by the twisting posture of the bull's body, according to Durante.

Our work falls into two main categories. First are strategic interventions in vexatious urban situations. These are, in general, client-less “friend of the court” proposals for visionary solutions to specific problems. To date, these have included the “New Algiers Project,” a prototype for a habitable, self-financing levee protoype in New Orleans; “Gowntown,” a study of the community wide possibilities that might be leveraged by the Columbia University expansion in Manhattanville; “Green Gaza,” a initial study of the prospects for greater environmental autonomy in the Gaza Strip; “Closing the Loop,” a design for the reconfiguration of a derelict skyscraper in lower Manhattan as a self-contained community; and “Mass Movement Downtown,” a study of a reconfiguration of the circulatory systems of lower Manhattan.
Làng Greenwich, thường được người địa phương gọi đơn giản là "Làng", là một khu cư trú rộng lớn ở bờ tây của Hạ Manhattan tại thành phố New York, Bang New York. Phần lớn quận này là nơi định cư của những gia đình thuộc tầng lớp trung lưu cao (upper middle class). Tuy vậy, Làng Greenwich được biết đến từ cuối thế kỷ 19 đến giữa thế kỷ 20 như là nơi trú ẩn của các nghệ sĩ, thiên đường của chủ nghĩa Bohemian phóng khoáng, và là nơi khai sinh của cả phong trào phản văn hóa của thập niên 1960 lẫn thế hệ Beat ở Bờ Đông. Chính những thứ đem đến đặc điểm hấp dẫn ban đầu cho cộng đồng này sau đó đã đóng góp cho sự chỉnh trang đô thị và thương mại hóa nơi đây. Tên của làng này đã được Anh hóa từ tên tiếng Hà Lan Groenwijck, nghĩa là "Quận Xanh", thành Greenwich, tên một khu tự quản Luân Đôn, khu Greenwich.Vị tríKhu dân cư này được bao bọc bởi đường Broadway về phía đông, sông Hudson về phía tây, phố Houston về phía nam, phố 14 về phía bắc, và gần như nằm tại trung tâm của quảng trường Washington và Đại học New York. Các khu lân cận xung quanh nó là East Village và NoHo ở phía đông, SoHo ở phía nam, và Chelsea ở phía bắc. East Village từng được xem là một phần của Lower East Side và không bao giờ có dính dáng đến Làng Greenwich.
