Visual Research: [St.Andrew’s Playground, NY 11216]


Metabolizing Time and Space:
[St.Andrew’s Playground, NY 11216]
The project started as a simple site study and grew into a dimensional exploration of space and belonging. It was a process of data visualization and understanding the site’s visual language. As someone new to the neighborhood and community, I observed St. Andrew’s Playground’s shifting textures, rhythms, and transformations throughout the day.

Using time-based materials and tactile elements, I translated these observations into a story about movement and connection. This visual compendium is a form of the documentary photo book, placing a 3D redesign of the playground made with wood dust, feeding the energy to the playground.
