DATE: FEBRUARY 2019 creating architecture is like creating a work of fiction: we take everyday events and objects and join them together in a completely new, previously unimagined way. when envisioning a new built environment, we may take surrounding contextual information, knit them together to see what emerges and from it, create a space. in this design process, we are producing architecture birthed from our imagination. stretching lines between darthmouth to halifax and from halifax to darthmouth creates a messy web of entanglements against the abstracted backdrop of the project site. but what do you see? do you see what i see? can we always justify the monsters that we create? drawing done using pen, paper, trace paper and spray glue.
