Scott Burnham: “For more than a decade, I have worked, researched, and circled the globe, twice, to demonstrate and document how resourcefulness can reinvent urban landscapes by unlocking the potential stored in its physical elements. What started with my own work repurposing existing urban assets for additional use in Italy, the UK, the Netherlands, the US, and other countries, eventually became a global pursuit to discover the most innovative and transformative examples of repurposing and reprogramming urban elements around the world.”
