About Presentation
I was invited to speak on placemaking, focusing specifically on the role two-dimensional art—illustration and design—can play in shaping environments. The presentation centered on my professional practice and work I have produced, highlighting the translation of visual concepts into immersive spatial experiences.
The presentation explores ways to showcase work beyond the constraints of paper and frame. It examines the concept of placemaking, focusing on how two-dimensional work—such as illustration and design—can be transformed into physical space. It outlines this process, from identifying a location and taking measurements to brainstorming concepts, developing elevations, and utilizing tools that support spatial rendering.
