The Task
Summary of the Project
Title: A Playground for the Creative.
Name: Rhami Zeini. Date: 27 April 2017. Question: How does hyper-gentrification affect architecture in West Chelsea Thesis: The way hyper-gentrification affects architecture is a lot more complex, but I believe that can be boiled down to this: hyper-gentrification does not change the buildings directly, but instead it entices architects to come to an area and put their own creative spin on what they believe it needs. Summary: This art project displays how hyper-gentrification has affected Chelsea's architecture by discussing three buildings the are the embodiment of gentrification Connection: This project connects to my essay because my essay talks about the three buildings that this website does. |
