PAL is centered on exploring the convergence of visualization, new media tools, and critical theory, particularly at the crossroads of technology, decolonization, and media infrastructure. This practice strikes a balance between thorough investigations of complex themes and playful experiments with new software, thereby offering a multifaceted exploration of the digital landscape in architecture and design. Characterized by a persistent inquiry, PAL aims to leverage these tools to challenge and reshape conventional perceptions of space and societal constructs.
