Cambridge PHILADELPHIA
suckerPUNCH: describe your project.
Mariana IBAÑEZ + Simon KIM: Philadelphia has identified a disproportionate urban condition of vacant lots that are not only large in number but are widely distributed regardless of real-estate value. Ownership among the private, and public (Redevelopment Authority, Philadelphia Housing Authority and others) suggest that there is intention held back by onerous conditions. While these voids can be seen as endemic of urban blight, our studio is interested in researching how we cognitively map our environment, or how we perceive our location via references.
