This project has evolved from an interest in architecture’s role and impact in the city, as well as a developing interest in the philosophy of Object Oriented Ontology. As a way to explore these interests, this project is about contextualizing Bigness through the writings of Graham Harman.

collect them. I will read about them. I will try
to diagram them. I will rescale them. I will
combine them. I will use images to make new
fields; reimagine territories.
