RE: BUFFALO

RE: Buffalo was a study of the spaces that lay at the periphery of the city, not necessarily in a spatial relationship to some conceived city center, but rather in relationship to the social, cultural and political forces that activate the normative concept of city. The studio was a probing investigation and analysis of the often overlooked spaces of Buffalo - interstitial spaces, unintended spaces, derelict spaces, post-industrial terrain vauges, forgotton spaces of bewilderment or neglect - in short, other spaces.
