'reconstructed lot'

parking lots make me shudder; from their impervious layers and lack of natural environment -to their anti-people, pro-automobile agenda.  they only thing positive thing i can say about these places is that they are teeming with possibility for major overhaul and positive impact. 

in the original image we see a parking lot filled with cars, and the building's reflective windows give us insight to the seemingly expanding lot of cars.  in my re-mixed image, i reclaimed the space with things deserving such real estate.  cars and pavement are eradicated and replaced with rows of greenery and a swing-set for neighborhood children.  the building's windows now reflect the local watershed, and a wind turbine in the forefront indicates that this building now uses green energy sources.  now you'll have to leave your car at home & ride your bike or take the t to this reclaimed office space.
