Architecture &
Student work by Jeffrey Montes produced while earning the Master of Architecture (M. Arch) degree at the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation / Columbia University in the City of New York. Architecture depends on and is enabled by all the things which it purports to contain. The work in "Architecture &" is not self-referential. Instead, it deals with eleven themes from the specifically hypervast to the abstractly minute: Noosphere, system, agonism, spatia, code, waterworks, views, the desert, drones, mechanism, and Space.
