Urban Interventions.

a "one-of-a-kind" urban object.

 

Our urban interventions are "sketchbook" pieces that emphasize a modest, temporary 'moment in the city' that subverts the generic experience of moving through a city. The experience of 'being there' is critical in such interventions.

 

Our interest in using natural elements, grass or leaves, emphasize a purposeful transience to the act of the intervention--that the thing itself will grow, die and dissappear. Maybe we're trying to be all shucks poetic Zen/Buddhist or something, but the result generated an unexpected narrative of the natural operating within the built environment.

 

Our larger work suggests the need for dignified, personable spaces in the city. With an increased focus on derelict sites we found the intermediate period between demolition and building an arresting opportunity to do more with a site rather than leave it as an empty lot. These larger works intend to be more spatially considered interventions rather than "objects."
