Studio leaders: Rennie Liffen and Oskar Kazmanli-Liffen
_
This semester Studio 2 has existed in the virtual realm of Kakurega, Tokyo. The studio has explored the architectural project as a source of empowerment. With the design project as the vehicle, students have developed an empathetic response to the social and spatial experience of the creative class. They have questioned how much we can ask of our built environment, our society, the places in which we live and the places that remain forever in our memory.
The door closes itself.
I watch his white gloves on the wheel. Blue neon lights ripple over the windshield.
The city rushes by as my insecure projection stays still on the glass.
What a difference distance makes.
