The layers of London are not simply temporal or vertical — they float and shift through reference frames and frameworks, projecting geological eras onto vertical surfaces and virtual swarms onto the urban fabric.

A collection of contemporary perspectives operates as the non-linear layering which my studies and experiences suggest. They operate independently, united through a common subject and common space. Space forms the container for these thoughts, dreams, aspirations, and ultimately, analysis.

The 'zine is an object, it is physical, non-raster, non-vector, and forms a surface onto which our experiences as a group are projected. Typology, use, technology, and occupation come together to form an idea of building and space. The 'zine is the building, the building is the 'zine, and all are possible not through lecture, book, or video, but only through the direct experience present in each second of my term abroad.
