Years ago, I explored the NIMBY debate through imagery, arguing that these questions belong to architects and not just politicians. Not much has changed in the current architectural practice, so I’m revisiting the idea with sharper intent (and skills). This image isn’t flashy. It’s not trying to impress with gravity-defying luxury pods or cliché renderings for some speculative undisclosed project. It simply asks: What would you do if someone built a tower in your backyard? It speaks of real cities, not ex-nihilo fantasies for the wealthy.
