This project is a focus on the architectural beauty of neglected places, specifically the hospital at Fort McDowell on Angel Island. Discovering and unearthing the places around us is part of human nature. Since most of our world has been mapped and plotted, it seems logical to turn our attention to the remnants and remains of the recent past. Urban decay is all around us, and buildings with historical purpose hold special meaning to me. I find it sadly ironic that a building that contained the efforts of so much healing and care, is now completely devoid of those actions – not only within its walls, but for it’s walls.
