“An important work of architecture will create polemics.” // Richard Meier

Out of all the work I did in El Ejido I have been struggling to find a single image (or even a series of images) able to capture the scale of the place. Of course there are levels of scale at play: from the mountains of food produced annually to the suffering of field workers. I’m struggling with them all, but to begin I’ve been trying to visualize the physical space, the greenhouses – the architecture of food grown in such quantities that the means of production envelops homes, villages and even cities.

This feels like the closest I’ve come so far.
