a way to see the world

The project, which has been presented to us by Professor Luis E. Carranza Phd., Roger Williams University, is an architectural investigation. This is an investigation into making people, rather, us think of our surroundings. An architecture which wakes us from our blase attitude to force us to realise we have been asleep. Only on the rare occasion do we recall how it is we came to be in the very room we now sit. This is an attempt to wake a campus from such a slumber.

This investigation begins with art in the form of a Juan Gris painting.

site collage

This exercise was meant to tease out the subconscious and begin to reflect the site in a way we saw it, not necessarily the way we wanted to see it.

This was made up of multiple pictures of the site itself, cut up and arranged in a manner to express, abstractly, what the site was about. My intention was to capture how the ground is penetrated with buildings, trees and drains. what ended up coming out was an expression of verticality. I began to see this project as my own cubist painting.
