SEMI CITY / A SEMI-URBAN STUDIO
The city we seeis never the whole city.
01 / THE OTHER HALF
The other half of a city lives in the time, terrain and everyday life we overlook.
A city is not only an aerial view, nor only its streets and skyline today. Rivers, salt wells, production, migration and everyday life accumulate across time to make the city in front of us.
