The Periscope Project
J Street, San Diego, CA, United States
Firm
YEAR
2011
The Periscope Project has emerged as a multidisciplinary co-op working to establish viable amenities for artists, designers, students, scholars and activists in the form of work, project and common space. Additionally, it is a representational project working to visualize alternative land-use and development models within the city—such that promote spatial structures capable of supporting inclusion and connectivity of mutual social, political and civic achievement. The genesis initiated by the late Petar Perisic has become a wholly collaborative endeavor producing a social diaphragm cognizant of the market politic and co-opted gentrification tropes–palpably signified by our east-east village San Diego smudge space. The project is a willed negotiation of the forces of real-estate development on the one hand, and the historical narratives of urban blight on the other, helping to articulate and amplify the social demands of those subjected.The project is comprised of three 8’ by 9’ by 45’ intermodal shipping containers adapted as communal studio workspace. Two additional containers function as gallery / workshop / project space. The arrangement of the containers on a 25’ by 100’ lot defines an outdoor courtyard and second-level deck, enabling both outdoor event space and indoor/outdoor permeability of the studio workspace. The lot includes water, electricity and broadband internet.
