Unplanned Models is a material study of urbanism and media design. The video layers a late-night walk through Echo Park with a four-part grid of photogrammetry models — abandoned couches captured on sidewalks across Los Angeles. Each rendered object becomes a fragment of the city’s informal landscape, where discarded material and digital reconstruction meet. The work considers how everyday urban residue—objects left behind, scanned, and remade—reveals the tension between lived experience and the mediated surfaces through which the city is seen and understood.
