“25 FEET Off Higgins” is a truly student organized zine publication that aims to showcase student work on an accessible and personal scale. We are un-official, unpolished, non-bureaucratic, and off Higgins.

“Q: How are infinite modules are powerful? Infinite modules suggest that simple geometries can multiply & transform into any form. In this particular drawing, the functions of the modules are not specifies, providing us freedom for the imagination of what they can become. The demolition of the capsule towers in Tokyo just began, so I guess it is more sustainable for modules to flexibly adapt to the time and needs of their respective societies.

Q: What is your opinion on “supertalls”? I like tall structures because I think they give identity to a place by shaping the skyline, but the critique of “supertalls” today especially in NYC is more about their reflection of discrepancies between social classes. Supertall itself is not a negative typology.

An endless field of vertical structures gently stand on a deserted ground, each with unique expressions while composed of the same modules. The growth of modules generate infinite combinations and flexibility in form and function. Ambiguous in purpose, the towers expand beyond the horizon, as one’s imagination is limitless.
