The work explores the southern Great Plains as the representation of the American Arid-lands, its environmental processes, and its temporal effects. 

I have constructed visual and spatial narratives of this complex and multi-dimensional arid (sub)terrain environment. The work hopes to design a portion of the arid lands ever so slightly skewed from the real, testing the non-conventional processes of translation and subsequent alteration. These approximated inserts would address what we have learned from traditions of tracking time, seasonal changes, and historical ways of living with arid landscapes and translate them into design interventions in form of public urban spaces within the southern Great Plains. The exhibition captures 63 62 

four contributions from five designers from different disciplines ( architecture, landscape architecture, land art, and computer science). I curated the whole show, creating a state of a continuum where there is a granular transition from coffee beans to granular sands to a large pile of mesquite mulch, and a very focused micro-scale proposal to other pieces featured which would capture the whole Great Plains. The bigger the geographical scope, the
