OBUS / Richard Taransky Studio Develops and proposes projects adjacent to historic sites, in abandoned places along the rising tide, (Atlantic City, Camden, Kensington) to challenge the repetition of a built world uninvolved with the social contract. As a unique Commercial Practice, noncommercial proposals are also developed, figured, and potentially figured out.
Studio is located along The Cooper River upstream from The Delaware.
