Thomas:

But to read Science Park at Yale as simply a uncomplicated contrast between
two diametrically opposed (but dialectically inseparable) realities – a
romantically recollected industrial past versus a privatized, antiseptic biotech
future – overlooks a third narrative we might also investigate on Winchester
Ave.

Exploring the factories themselves– the vast majority of which have still
yet to completely crumble or be converted – one encounters a plethora of ways
individuals have endeavored to subvert the space. Despite the barbed wire,
homeless residents of Science Park at Yale have managed to squat inside;
graffiti writers have painted colorful murals on the walls of the inside
courtyards; and young punk kids high on Guy Debord and Raoul Vaneigem scale
rooftops late at night to see the city stretch out before them.
