The image featured in the installation is an existing ad created by the Financial Times (http://www.weliveinfinancialtimes.com/). Sampling from a montage of contemporary architectural monuments from around the world, the imagery depicts a virtual scene which aims to convey a utpopian ideal of the world's integrated economy. The header of the ad states: "World business. In one place... We live in Financial Times."
The installation builds upon the existing ad with the question "How do we design cities?" that extends down the corridor leading into the cafe.
Questions that arise:
How has globalization affected the interplay of exchanges between Architects, Planners, Urban Designers, Real Estate Developers, and Historic Preservationists?
How has this process of globalization altered the traditional ways in which we design cities?

Excellent work!
Why did they put an ad in my cafeteria?
The siting and strategy of this project is fantastic. I have heard many people guessing who did this -- here were some of the attempts:
1. It must have been ChinaLab?
Response from one of the Chinalab participants -- "I wish we had thought of that".
2. Has corporate advertising finally arrived at the GSAPP?
3. Why would students have spent money on this?
4.I think it changed from last week to this week? Did you notice what it said before?
Not one person walked up the stairs without wondering where it came from.
And so.... -- you should keep changing it. Over time people will start remembering what was there before and finally the comments will be about the content -- not about guessing who did it.
Congratulations -- fantastic project.
