  • Anonymous asked: Why don't you ever post your own work?
  • Answer:

    Mmmm,

    I don’t suppose I have a good answer. I have posted spinets of my portfolio but it obviously not enough to get a full spectrum of my work.

    I guess I always find others work more impressive than my own.

    Okay I’ll post up some of the thesis/architectural graphic novel.

  • Isolated Building Studies by David Schalliol The Isolated Building Studies are the visual confluence of my interests in urban dynamism, socioeconomic inequality and photography. By using uniform composition in photographs of Chicago buildings with no neighboring structures, I hope to draw attention to new ways of seeing the common impact of divergent investment processes on urban communities. Isolated buildings are particularly useful for the exploration of neighborhood transformation and its social correlates because they are immediately recognized as unusual. As urban buildings, their form illustrates their connection with adjacent structures: vertical, boxy, an architecture confined by palpably limited parcels. When their neighboring buildings are missing, a tension emerges: the urban form clashes with the seemingly suburban, even rural setting. Thoughtfully engaging the landscape requires further investigation to resolve this tension: Why is this building isolated? It is from this fundamental friction that the Isolated Building Studies launches.

Isolated Building Studies by David Schalliol

The Isolated Building Studies are the visual confluence of my interests in urban dynamism, socioeconomic inequality and photography. By using uniform composition in photographs of Chicago buildings with no neighboring structures, I hope to draw attention to new ways of seeing the common impact of divergent investment processes on urban communities.

Isolated buildings are particularly useful for the exploration of neighborhood transformation and its social correlates because they are immediately recognized as unusual. As urban buildings, their form illustrates their connection with adjacent structures: vertical, boxy, an architecture confined by palpably limited parcels. When their neighboring buildings are missing, a tension emerges: the urban form clashes with the seemingly suburban, even rural setting. Thoughtfully engaging the landscape requires further investigation to resolve this tension: Why is this building isolated?

  • Detroit Prairie by Erika Lindsay In Detroit Michigan prairie grasses now fill spaces that dwellings once occupied. Old trees remain among fragments of foundations, driveways, patios and walkways, marking the place where houses once stood. Empty fire hydrants and sagging utility poles offer a glimpse into the once thriving neighborhoods which existed here. New signs of life abound. Entire urban blocks have become prairie fields, some extending for blocks and spanning streets, root systems breaking concrete up as nature is left to take over, unrestrained. As abandoned buildings become overgrown and decompose, the fabric of the city changes. This is the greening of Detroit.
