City skin
“Look at any surface; it has a tale to tell.”
🔥 There is a richness of pattern, texture and composition, an endlessly interesting process which occurs on the everyday walls of the city.
Surface is both a noun and a verb.
The derma of the city is in a permanent process of becoming, with its layered coatings of renders and paints, lines, cracks and openings, whose cells surface together.
At close inspection, in even a shallow archaeological examination, the skin, or crust, of the city reveals evocative layers and patterns, and demonstrates how surfaces are never plain, blank, or empty.
