A Weapon Against Geometry

'Liquid counteracts gravity's earthbound hegemony and provides a level of freedom for bodies used to feeling heavy and depleted at the end of the day... Imagine the luxury of swimming to work- and a way of mediating the harsh tones of the cityscape' 

Gregory Williams

Susa Templin explores the question of how to make urban living more livable. Templin's primary weapon against geometry is water. Searching the metropolis of Manhattan, she looks for open-air swimming pools that offer a measure of hope. She refers to them as 'negative architecture'.  Through her explorations she brings alive ideas of how the urban can re-engage with and help to temper the anarchic environment with the soothing presence of water.
