A massive, public, collaborative, azulejo.
An azulejo is a large, tiled, painting (usually blue on white), found primarily in Portugal.
Azulejos often depict biblical, mythological, or historical scenes.
This would be a public mural of-sorts, tiled onto the side of a large building with an open invitation for community members to come and add a bit from their own experience/life/perspective.
An adolescent tree sapling planted as a communal public artwork, where local residents are invited to come and tie or chain items of sentimental value to it.
As the tree grows, the items will slowly become consumed by the expanding tree and become part of its fabric, forever. A living time-capsule.
An architectural/housing development of a handful of Spanish-style bungalows/shotgun shacks set around a small body of water with a water-feature based on the hi-jets in Echo Park Lake, Los Angeles.
The artwork is the endeavour of building the bungalows and doing the landscaping, but once they exist they can be run as residency live/work studios and low-cost housing for artists.
