Through site-specific observation and the resulting drawings, collage, screen-prints and video responses, my architectural practice analyses the spatial inequalities within the civic and explores a number of architectural intervention methods in an effort to create equitably distributed space across the city.
Influenced by Jean Baudrillard’s exploration of the horizontal and vertical planes of the United States in his book America (1986), the work Elevating Spaces explores the democratisation of Los Angeles’ vertical territory through elevated and revolving public environments, airborne over the civic topography to enable a user experience of the horizontal potential of the metropolis from a variety of heights and perspectives.
