Vertical Futures is a three-phase photographic exploration of the urban environment. It examines the connection between the urban landscape and the natural environment and more specifically, how we live in tandem between both. With roots in New Urbanism, Vertical Futures aims to spark thought and conversation about how we live within our city. The purpose of these phases is to emphasize the process of development, not only referring to land use but also the development of ideas, processes and frameworks.
