Our intervention brings emphasis to details that may otherwise be missed upon a visit to our site. Using the
language of social media, we bring direct attention to nuanced moments in the existing landscape; sensationalizing the ordinary and hinting at bigger things to come. It’s in these moments that we have found the inspiration that anchors the goals of our design proposal.

Through our frames we invite others to view segments of this landscape in isolation, free of the clutter omnipresent in this neighbourhood. We ask that each viewer reflect on what they see, how it makes them feel, and how this isolated moment fits within the site’s greater context. Later, we will draw upon these inputs in finalizing our design proposal, helping us to create a design that accommodates the perspectives of those invested in this site beyond our own design team...

We hope to discover what others see when they peer deeper into this urban landscape, bringing into frame the whole
picture.
