REDEVELOPMENT OF A REDEVELOPMENT OF A REDEVELOPMENT
Medium: Real Estate Poem
Academic work done at MIT
Year: 2024
Workshop with Marija Maric and Ana Miljacki
This poem collages language taken directly from real estate developer websites and news publications about one building in Boston, the Government City Garage, being demolished to make room for a new condo tower, the Sudbury. The poem visualizes the way the purposefully vague language from real estate developers can be used over and over again to justify a demolition (of the “ugly,” “bad”, “failed”) in place of the new (“forward-thinking”, “contemporary”, “best”).
