This is a contribution to the public interiority exhibition and book. With this installation, I propose an architectural methodology that allows us to pass through layers of fabulation and become immersed in an interior to leave behind a narrative of a troubled past to work through many mending strategies for the future.

This installation is a tale that envisions the city of Cleveland as a stage and acts as a catalyst for questioning the established storyline already in place. Almost Paradise offers potential futures for the rehabilitation of Cleveland via the making of an interactive installation that invites to audience to engage with a three-layered project.
