Former Circle K

The slow individualization of re-inhabited Circle Ks caused by years of choices and actions caught my attention. These buildings do not show a linear progression of the corporatization and homogenization of suburbia, but rather serve as evidence of a more circular system โ€” a system driven by a delicate negation between same and different, between complicated sets of actions and choices that shape our built environment.
