The Ghost Acres of Architecture displays data, artifacts and spatial information regarding the Seagram Building—an iconic modernist building in Manhattan designed by Mies van der Rohe, completed in 1958. The time from the first moment of extraction of its raw materials up to its present realities is presented through dynamic interactive visualization techniques that lay bare the immense territorial reach of just one single building project. The project evokes a broad range of evidence—drawing together digital projections and raw geological and architectural elements—to explicate the planetary reach of architecture, making design practice far less abstract and much more literal as a genre of terrestrial activity.
