Steel is not an architect, urban planner or engineer but a builder of imagined architectural propositions, improbable structures, civic buildings and private pavilions. While architects and designers grapple with planning and development approvals, their ambitions subdued by regulations and budgets, Steel conjures up fictitious implausible cities that lie just beyond our grasp.
Stepping into Steel’s world is to journey into abandoned places and impossible dreams. The more time you spend with her work, the more enigmatic it becomes.
