RYSQ agreed to participate in the Pilot project for Illuminate Cites NYC to expand on a key mantra of her practice, ‘Context brings Content’.  

Embracing the fact that  ‘Architecture is truly the Art of Process, phasing an idea from the Abstract to the Real’

… when approached by the other collaborators it was intriguing to see how

‘Art has the potential to evolve as the Architecture of Process, phasing an idea from the Real to the Abstract’

in order to translate into didactic content.
