'An Ideal for Living' explores the intersection of photography and computer-generated imagery (CGI) in depicting the future of urban life. It specifically examines London's ongoing urban redevelopment, highlighting how architecture is shaped as both a visual story and a construction process. This project blurs the lines between CGI and traditional photography, capturing the city's transformation during this period of change. The resulting images draw from architectural and advertising photography, combining reality with simulation, preserving the present while projecting future aspirations. They convey the pristine novelty of new buildings while hinting at the inevitable effects of time. 'An Ideal for Living' seeks to archive a simulated memory of the city's evolving landscape.
