brooklyn-based designer olalekan jeyifous has rendered a series of images that depict different speculative installations. the individual follies examine the corner condition, urban planning strategy, and architectural tropes and traditions that relate to the subject at hand. the abstracted urban designs consider vernacular methods of construction across a diverse range of typologies, encouraging the viewer to reflect and reconsider their intended function and purpose. the nigerian born artist hopes to physically realize some of the explorations at a later date.
