Research and Scholarly Activity

My work is concerned with developing a visual language of the intricacies implicit in our built environment. The surface of the city is the visible manifestation of our endeavor to formalise, expand and innovate within the spaces that we create. The surface also defines the relationship between the inhabitants and the city. This relationship is in continuous evolution, as technology manipulates the everyday patterns that have defined the city throughout the ages. The experience of the city is a temporal one, and I use moving image to reflect this experience. My work aims to explore the politics of the city, questioning the temporary nature of 'landmark' structures, where the constantly changing company nameplate plays a pivotal role, and the architectures lack of engagement with the culture of space.
