Coming Soon: Extant

The built environment is the manifestation of the society that created it. There is no blank canvas, rather a city is built and rebuilt upon a fabric of choices made in contexts that no longer exist.

How is it possible to comprehend this complexity? Can we call the city we inhabit today a single city through time? Is a city knowable in this way?

Extant is an exploration into how we perceive our built environment. It’s aim is to develop a process to provoke new perceptions of the built environments we exist within.
