Rediscovering Crescent Town
Crescent town was designed in 1969 by an architect named Marklin Dietrich.
During this time period, many architects were designing neighbourhoods like Crescent Town with large areas of grass or pavement at the base of towers so that residents could have access to light and fresh air in their apartment units, and also be able to play sports and be active right outside their homes.
I'm interested in how these spaces on the podium level are used by you today. How to you feel in the spaces? How do you want to use them?

“Mobile Experiential Cinema. The project is a roving, bicycle mounted cinematic experience that invites audience members to view a series of multi-part film segments that are screened onto the original sites where they were filmed. The project explores the paradox between a film experience and reality, while a narrative story works to blur these boundaries.”

For the people, by the people. A visual story of the DIY city
For the People, By the People by Afaina de Jong is a visual story about how people influence change in the city. The collapse of faith in top-down planning has been followed by a renewed interest in the self-generating wisdom of bottom-up urban initiatives. What does it mean when people act as the urban change agents that direct the life and death of the world’s cities? Fusing her photography with a manifesto-like text, architect Afaina de Jong marks the people in the streets as the starting point of all urban trends and cultural innovation. And calls upon us all to become architects of our environment.
