Liftspace transforms and underutilized site in downtown Cleveland into a unique space ripe for social experience. Digital culture has reformatted the way we perceive and interact with the urban environment, reducing architecture to sound bytes along a path. Liftspace responds to this notion not with noise, but utility, accomplishing a lot with minimal effort. It is playfully direct and unapologetically public.
This project was produced for an exhibition titled: All You Can Eat: A Buffet of Architectural Ideas for Cleveland, held at the Sculpture Center the end of October 2009. The curators/organizers put out an open call for ideas to reinvigorate vacant sites in the city. Liftspace explores attitude on both a formal/programmatic and graphic level.

Jeremy Smith Design Perspective
Liftspace aims to explore the boundaries of programming, gesture and attitude in real context. This perspective captures that condition in a manner while adding a layer of specificity in a playful manner. It welcomes influences from Agents of Change and Wes Jones in the continued effort to refine a graphic language and consistency.
