Final Year Project

Project Title

Architectures of Control

Description

My project aims to identify and deconstruct contemporary hostile urban architecture around us, such that is increasingly polluting the fabric of urban space as they aim to subjugate, control, and manipulate bodies and behaviors. For my thesis display, I will be creating a museum of hostile urban artifacts that can provide sufficient knowledge to allow audiences to identify unpleasant designs.
