Left-over spaces are vulnerable by nature and often held in negative connotation. Could this be altered by simply framing them differently?

Revealing the Rhizome

Dense urban area leaves many spaces left undesired and seemingly unpopulated. Many of these zones are in fact full of activity, thus warranting a certain level of architectural intervention in order to render them once again desired.

Viewer or Viewed?

Our Urban landscape is cluttered with surveillance equipment. We have become so accustomed to it that most don't even notice they are being watched and recorded throughout their day. Would you?

In the shadows of the rhizome

The city is made up of a multitude of different contextual elements. The threshold spaces many of these elements produce are often [un]desired, "left-over" spaces. These areas create new opportunities for design to intervene and integrate the [un]wanted into the urban fabric. 

Aftermath

The densification of urban cores gives rise to many unwanted and under utilized areas within their limits. Will these locations be reclaimed and re-adapted before they fall into complete disrepair?
