Abstract
The transparency between the political and public realm is currently a blurred perception today. My architectural objective isn’t to influence or convince you to ultimately believe in particular political ideals. It is about the conversation. This dialog allows you to question the action and spoken word in a political space of appearance. The restoration of a political public space will provoke the converging moment of a conversation. American architecture embodies the ideals of democracy for which our revolution was fought and our Constitution created. Philadelphia embodies revolution and restoration of the political and public realm. That embodiment today is disappearing or a shell of the former.
