City of Views: Studio District
“City of Views at every level is about unpacking and reintegrating production typology through techniques of sequence, perspective, and presence.” A thesis developed from a reintegration of sound stage campuses into a more responsive urban condition. Production space is stratified, collected, and composed into a 16 acre mixed use district. Visualized through experimental resin printing to represent transparent caustic optical effects at an urban consideration.
“Upcycling changes everything. How we understand beginning and end. How we treat the process, and the finished result, if there even is one. Our factory is for upcycling, so we can’t model production the same. We have to look closer at the life cycle, at the details, from every angle, at every size. What if we kept making this way? What if we took it all apart and never put it back together again? Could all new fashion be made from not so new material? Could upcycling be a new way to tell the story of clothes? Retell a narrative of production?” LINK TO FILM
