Looking, After the Fires
Organization Overview
"Looking, After the Fires” is an architectural installation resulting from
speculative research examining cultural and ecological responses to
wildfire across California, Italy, and Japan. This hybrid firetower is a
memorial to that which was lost, and a vantage point from which to watch
the processes of regeneration of our ecosystems.
