FEATURED PROJECTS
Documenting an endless and ephemeral array of media, ARCHITECTURE AS MEDIA gathers pieces of media and arranges them to reveal the weak attachments these images and texts have to a constructed narrative. We seamlessly consume these narratives and unknowingly use them as walls for building our own perception of reality. Whether these pieces were intentional or unintentional, media is not to be treated as a responsive medium. Instead, media must be understood as a method of designing human behavior and deconstructing our built environment.
