Peter Root's 'Low-Rise' is a Life-Like City of Staples
Andrew Robichaud — July 24, 2009 — Art & Design
I wish I had this much free time at work (Ha… I love my job). Peter Root (he wasn’t actually working while creating this) crafted this city of staples that he affectionately calls, ‘Low-Rise.’
The city looks to be so carefully crafted and the arrangement of the staples makes it seem really lifelike (in a futuristic, Matrix sort of way).
What makes ‘Low-Rise’ special is that mimics real life in its destructibility. In such an urban metropolis, any harm to one building could affect all the others. As ‘Low-Rise’ is subject to the elements, disaster could be just around the corner.
