CREATING NEW BOUNDARIES As a form of expression, street art touches on the concept of layering, while serving as both a permanent and semi-permanent surface. In essence, this project is taking a museum and flipping it inside out. By reversing the traditional museum typology, the building becomes its own canvas. The artwork is displayed for what it is—art—and enables the users to define the structure. Through the resident’s display of their own artwork, a community is born. Community “billboards” layer announcements of nearby shows and events, becoming another form of street art throughout the intimate spaces.
