Made for a speculative studio, this project projects into the future of the American Ohio River Valley in a world where capitalism runs rampant and at its extreme. In these heightened conditions, we explore the perception of not only architecture but space, and the ways in which everyday people can regain control over their own spaces in an age when surveillance and control restrict connection.
