Slow Transformation

The question of two kinds of states coexisting is a political one that is laced with intricacies of the social. An important one is people’s notions associated with ideas of progress and regress. The world does not have a uniform distribution of natural resources or wealth. Given this context, every urban environment must be prepared to embrace a new kind of future, one that may appear futuristic or more vernacular. The current size of the built environment has a significant impact on the climate crisis, making it imperative to contribute to its improvement. We can use these buildings as vessels to visibly represent change, which are crucial for shifting societal perspectives on future environments and aiding carbon sequestration. This project will advocate for transforming the ideas associated with the image of cities while imagining new (or rather rediscovering older) possibilities for future social living.
