Canon-divergence Whitney M. Young, Jr.’s speech in 1968 to the American Institute Architects questioned the efficacy of design professionals’ work in “urban” environments, and to this day when you see this speech referenced, it tends to be part of a call for social change in architecture. Young was, of course, not the only non-designer who has had a transformative impact on the discipline’s concerns and processes.
Dust quietly exposes and brings into presence space and its elements: air, earth and water. For some time, I have been pondering the elemental and material geography of the city as an archive that shakes some of the established wisdoms about our cities. Part of the reasons I want to do this is that the question of space is more pervasive, more attractive and, also, vaguer.
