In creating a narrative from which to base the intervention and the thesis, I am pulling from interviews, anecdotes, and statistics to build 2 distinct personalities at opposite ends of the socioeconomic spectrum. Representing the Private vs. Public dichotomy via the everydays of 2 individuals reveals the current conditions of the testing site so that I can design in response to both of them at once.

We see the days of A MAN and B MAN play out across the same 4 buildings on one of Grand Rapids’ main streets, Division Ave.
