KINSHIP OF THE CAPTIVE GLOBE illustrated mural
Kinship of the Captive Globe transports Rem Koolhaas’ and Madelon Vriesendorp’s 1972 vision for Manhattan to the Midwestern Plain. Applied globally, the one-square-mile Jeffersonian Grid enables a full spectrum of urbanity from the Chicago Loop to the suburbs to endless agricultural fields. Here, my architectural kin and I reinterpret Koolhaas’ modernist references through our diverse perspectives: Zaid Alzaid, AND/OR US, Bureau Spectacular, Cosmo Design Factory, could be architecture, EVG.works, Tom Harris, Knorr&Purckhauer, Kevin Pazik, Pencil Architects, Sam Jacob, Spirit of Space, Tobias Wootton, U5 and UrbanLab, among others. 

9 ft x 5 ft three-panel mural (275 x 150 cm). Commissioned by Joseph Altshuler and Stephen Signa at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Funded by Illini Dads.
