Project Overview
The Topographies Collection was made in collaboration with Snarkitecture, building on their ongoing exploration of excavation as an architectural process. This was the first collaboration I was in charge of project managing, working with the designers and founders of Snarkitecture through various iterations until we landed on a concept we both agreed on: transforming a 3D hand-torn 17-layer topographic landscape into a 2D non-repeating wallcovering with a strong trompe-l’oeil effect.
